Actionscript 3: Dynamically build arrayobjects from arrays

What I want my function todo is to return an dynamically generated array that I then can assign to the value of an object parameter, e.g:

var varObj:Object = {
    level:level,
    scores:getScoreArray()
}

function getScoreArray():Object {
    return[
        for each(var i:score in myScoreArray){
        //append i to the return-array
        }
    ];
}

The resulting varObj should then look something like:

{level:12,scores:[150,240,550]}

thanks in advance Jery

EDIT: So this is what vesper´s answer got me:

private function getTrialsArray():Array {
    var array:Array = new Array();

    for each(var model:TrialTrackingModel in trialTrackingArray) {
        array.push({
            level:model.level,
            stimulustime:model.stimmulusTime,
            inputMethod:model.inputMethod,
            reactionTimes:model.reactionTimes.slice(),
            answers:model.answers.slice()
        });
    }

    return array;
}

You basically create a new array in that function, populate it, then return the readied array. Like this:

function getScoreArray():Array {
    var a:Array=[];
    for each(var i in myScoreArray){
    a.push[i];
    }
    return a;
}

In fact, this can be done with more ease using Array:slice() function.

function getScoreArray():Array { return myScoreArray.slice(); }
