Expecting semicolon before leftbracket?

[macdonjo]

var coinCollection[i]:MovieClip = new coinDrop();

It says its expecting semicolon before leftbracket on this line. Ideas?

The variable identifier may not contain square brackers. I.e.

var coinCollection[// here's the error 

If you want the objects in coinCollection to be of type MovieClip:

var coinCollection:Vector.<MovieClip> = new <MovieClip>[];

Or use array and cast them later to the proper type:

var coinCollection:Array = [];
(coinCollection[i] as MovieClip).gotoAndStop(i);
