ActionScript 3.0 :: (1086) Expecting Semi Colon Before Left Bracket

This is a snippet of my code which is giving me
1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbracket.
What I'm trying to do is create a an array from the amount of "players" and then for each player in the array, add another array into each level of the array that has 3 levels which are all set to '0'. When I remove: var scoreArray[i]:Array = [0, 0, 0]; the error stops.

ActionScript Code:
public var players;
public var playerScoreArray:Array;
public function gameSetup() {
var playerScoreArray = new Array(players);
for (var i = 0; i < players; i++) {
var scoreArray[i]:Array = [0, 0, 0];
playerScoreArray[i] = scoreArray[i];
}}
