Multiple Variables in a for statement

[thekillerbigmac]

Hello,

I'm trying to declare a few variables in a for statement using the variable in the for statement. In older flash versions I would use something like this.

for(a=0;a<10;a++) {
     _root["variable"+a] = "Some text "+a;
}

But now I can't get it to work in AS3. I've tried doing different variations of...

for(var a:int=0;a<10;a++) {
     var ["variable"+a]:String = "Some text "+a;
}

But no luck.

If anyone knows an alternate way to declare variables and use a different variable to help name it, please help me!

Thanks in advance!
