I think the issue is that you are waiting until you exit the loop to do any
addChild() calls. In that case you will only ever get one sprite added to
the display list. This is because when the loop is done it only has a single
reference to a sprite.
You might want to do two things. First, and most important, add each sprite
to an array. Second, call addChild() within the loop.
var mySpriteArray:Array = new Array();
for (var j:uint = 0; j < _columns; j++)
{
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
// This will allow you to reference the sprites
// later more easily.
mySpriteArray.push(sprite);
addChild(mySpriteArray[j]); // or addChild(sprite);
}
