Build list of records

Working on a fairly complex script. (Well, complex for me.)

Attempting to have AS build a list of records. The code I have is:

set chockFull to {"roses", "petunias", "dasies", "breebleboxes"}
set fieldList to {}

repeat with thisname in chockFull
	set newField to
		{kind:check box, name:contents of thisname, value:unchecked state, selected:false}
	set fieldList to fieldList & newField
end repeat

Which, so far, is resulting in:

Only one record, instead of four. I experimented with Akua Sweets, taking out the “set fieldlist.” line and replacing it with:

edit list fieldList using insertion (fieldList & newField)

.which results in an empty list.

I am using version 1.5.5 on 9.1. Does anyone have any insight/suggestions?

How about this:

set chockFull to {"roses", "petunias", "dasies", "breebleboxes"}
set fieldList to {}

repeat with thisname in chockFull
	set end of fieldList to {kind:check box, name:(contents of thisname), value:unchecked state, selected:false}
end repeatreturn fieldList
