Is it possible to make a loop that makes a defined number of arrays that makes a defined number of statments?
 
I'm not sure I understand what the second part of the question means (arrays making statements??), but to define some global variables in a loop, you can use:

Code:
function createGlobalArrays() {
   var arrayNamePrefix = 'myArray';
   var numArrays = 3;

   for (var loop=1; loop<=numArrays; loop++) {
      window[arrayNamePrefix + loop] = [];
   }
}

createGlobalArrays();
alert(myArray1.length);
alert(myArray2.length);
alert(myArray3.length);

Hope this helps,
Dan
