AS3 - Variable type definition

I have this code:

var arr: Array;

arr = new Array(blue, brown, green, pink, red);

var type: arr[0] = new arr[0];

(blue, brown, green, pink and red are MovieClips)

And I get this error:

Syntax error: Expecting semicolon before leftbracket.

What exactly is wrong?

You can't use arr[0] for the type.

Maybe you can try:

var type:* = new arr[0] as arr[0];

Note that this is what Interfaces are for. So you get type information without being tied to a specific implementation.
