New Arrays from Array Value (Newbie Question!)

programming flash
1

I have a array of categories, for e.g.

var categoryArray = new Array(‘value1’, ‘value2’, ‘value3’);

I would like to loop and create new arrays from each of the values in the categoryArray

I tried…
for(var i=0;i<=categoryArray.length-1;i++){
this[categoryArray*] = new Array();
}

value1[0] = “dsfsdf”;

trace(value1[0]);

It doesn’t seem to work. I am quite new to AS3, so please bear with me.

p.s. I’ve tried google, without much help

Thanks!
