Using an array to create multiple variables

programming flash
1

If I have multiple variables of the same type, can I create an array and loop to create them or do I need to create them individually.

For instance,

[COLOR=Blue]var ajArray:Array = new Array(mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6, mc7, mc8, mc9, mc10, mc11, mc12, mc13);

for (var i:number = 0; i<ajArray.length; i++){
var [ajArray*]:MovieClip;
}

OR DO I HAVE TO DO THE FOLLOWING FOR THE MULTIPLE VARS

var mc1:MovieClip;
var mc2:MovieClip;
var mc3:MovieClip;
var mc4:MovieClip;
var mc5:MovieClip;
var mc6:MovieClip;
var mc7:MovieClip;
var mc8:MovieClip;
var mc9:MovieClip;
var mc10:MovieClip;
var mc11:MovieClip;
var mc12:MovieClip;
var mc13:MovieClip;[/COLOR]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
