a) I tried to create an array of entity pointers, such as
n = 10
dim cube(n)
for i = 0 to i = n step 1

cube(i) = createCube()

next
but it does not work, why?

You syntax is wrong. Try:

n = 10 
dim cube(n-1) 
for i = 0 to n-1 
  cube(i) = createCube() 
next

b) I created a mesh

man = LoadAnimMesh(" ..")

then I tried to use this entity as parent entity, something like
ball = createSphere(man)

but I get the error message " duplicate variable" referring to the entity man

Probably because the first argument of CreateSphere is the amount of segments you want, not the parent argument. Try:

ball = CreateSphere(8,man)

[edit] Ah, too slow. :P
