for-do-end(for loop) error for no reason

Hi, I’ve been trying to do circles in this way :

[lua]

local number1 = mRandom(5)

local extra = 1

for i=1,number1 do

circle[i] = display.newCircle(group,centerX-120+(30*extra), centerY,15);

circle[i]:setFillColor(0,0,0);

extra = extra +1;

print(i)

end

[/lua]

but I get error every time for no reason ?

I’m stuck now -_-

It would really help to know what the error is. 

But if that’s all your code, then you never create the circle table.  Put: 

local circle = {}

somewhere before the for loop.
