Subject: Objects put into a declared array

Hi I've got this misunderstanding of how to use arrays and objects
stored there in (note I'm actually using Shoes if this has any bearing
on my problem).

below is a bit of code i've written that creates an array of 25 places.
         @myarray = Array(1..25)

I then want to "install" a bona fide object like a shape into each 25
places.
so i do this...
      1.upto @myarray.length do |p|
         @myarray[p] = oval(0,0,20,20)
         @myarray[p].move = x,y

note: x & y being defined else where so each shape is visable on screen

or can it be @myarray[p] = oval(0,0,20,20).move x,y?

if i use a local variable when defining ashape and do this
    @myarray[p] << ashape

then it works without the error that i get presntly which is

move is private and refers to the actual line @array[p].move = x,y

any explanations would be great and thoughts on best practices with this
sort of thing would be grateful.

dave.
