Multiple addChild[i]

1

I have followed the example of adding multiple instance names from an item from the library as shown below. The question is how do I add multiple instances with each having a MCname +* form a created geometry. Here is what I have so far.

var buttonDimension:Number =20
var button:MovieClip = new MovieClip;

button.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xffffff);
button.graphics.beginFill(0x696969);
button.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 20,20)
addChild(button);

var numberOfButtons:int = 5;

var buttons:Array = new Array(numberOfButtons);

for(var i:int = 0 ; i < numberOfButtons;i++) {
buttons* = new button();
addChild(buttons*);

	buttons.x = (buttonDimension*i)+buttonDimension
	buttons.y = (buttonDimension*i)+buttonDimension

}
