Hi I’m trying to create a 3x3 array that looks like a mini chessboard  
but it’s not working

i’m not sure why, can anyone point out to me pls. Thanks in advance

var black\_mc:Black ;  
var white\_mc:White ;

var tile:Array = new Array(new Array(black\_mc,white\_mc,black\_mc), new Array(white\_mc,black\_mc,white\_mc),new Array(black\_mc,white\_mc,black\_mc));

for(var i:int=0; i\<3; i++){  
for(var j:int=0; j\<3; j++){  
if(tile\*[j] == black\_mc){  
black\_mc = new Black();  
black\_mc.x = black\_mc.width_j;  
black\_mc.y = black\_mc.height_i;  
stage.addChild(black\_mc);  
trace(“black”);  
} if(tile\*[j] == white\_mc){  
white\_mc = new White();  
white\_mc.x = black\_mc.width_j;  
white\_mc.y = black\_mc.height_i;  
stage.addChild(white\_mc);  
trace(“white”);  
}  
}  
}
