passing values from a for loop into another array

I am retrieving values from a XML file and storing them into an array called wordList using Actionscript 3.

Say these are the values of wordList bear, cat, dog, kite, chair

I need to then format the values and store them in an another array called words so that the array called words looks like this

words=[" bear", "cat", "dog", "kite", "chair"];

How can I wrap each value of the array in quotation marks and pass them to the array called words?

MY CODE AT THE MOMENT

Code:

---

                          function RetrieveWords(puzzleInput:XML):void {


            var wordList:XMLList = puzzleInput.Word.puzWord;


            for (var i:int = 0; i < wordList.length(); i++)
            {
                var wordElement:XML = wordList[i];
                pWord.push(wordElement);

                trace(pWord[i]);

                    } 
                    trace("words");
                    pWord.toString();
                    trace(pWord);

            }

---

trace(pWord[i]) lists the words like this bear cat dog kite chair

***trace(pWord) lists the values as

bear,cat,dog,kite,chair

I need to wrap each value in quotes and pass it to the array called words so that it looks like this

words=["bear", "cat", "dog", "kite", "chair"]

PHP Code:

---

var wordList:Array=new Array("bear", "cat", "dog", "kite", "chair");
var words:Array=new Array();

for (var i=0; i<wordList.length; i++) {
    if (typeof(wordList[i])=="string") {
        words.push(wordList[i]);
    } else {
        trace(typeof(wordList[i]));

    }
}
trace(words);

Thanks for the reply. The values can't be hard coded as they are been read from an xml file. I have an array called words that I could easily hard code the words into, however it needs to be dynamic.

Can I ask why the quotes need to be stored in the array? Try this in your code:

pWord.push('"'+wordElement+'"');
