Actionscript 3 :: Get An Array Of Specific Added Children?

I'm using the following array to add children to the stage:

for(var i=0;i<6;i++) {
var aCherry=new cCherry()
aCherry.y=10
aCherry.x=10+100*i
stage.addChild(aCherry)
}

Now I want to modify each cherry based on another array. Something like this:

[Code]...

Clearly stage.getChildByName("aCherry")[i] isn't correct, but coming from JavaScript this makes the most sense to me and should accurately portray what I'm trying to achieve for you guys reading this. So, how would I actually do this? This being getting an array of children added to the stage under a certain name or class (so an array of cCherry would work too, if necessary), then using them in a way similar to the above loop.
