AddChild(new button()) - How to add a name to this new created button

Question

Hello,
Lost my old nickname, i was Pluda, now exPluda?.
well, tring to use a loop to add some buttons to my work, but need to reference their names so I can have diferent x positions for each. How to do that?
for ( var sm:uint = 0; sm < sub_menus.length; sm ++ ) {
        hsm.addChild(new bt_sub_menus());
        hsm.bt_sub_menus.x -= hsm.x-10;
        hsm.bt_sub_menus.y = hsm.bt_sub_menus.height+sm*15;
this does not work, i just get one button placed where I want.
Thanks!

Hello,
it works, but the first button doesn't places himself at hsm.x as he should.
this is so far one of my greatest difficulties in AS3, controling events inside loops.
in as2 we could use something like
function whatever() {
     n = 0;
     for(n = 0; n<20; n++) {
          do stuff here, like per example fade in of movieclip
          n++
in as3 I can't make this, I tried during this week to have some movieclips to place themselfs inside one sprite, using one timer to make each placement every 2 seconds. No results... they all are placed at same time.
Its been dificult this as2 to as3 transition, (I just purchase flash cs 3 a couple of monts)
Thanks
