Create a dynamic object array

programming flash

Hi All.

Still trying to get the hang of AS3 here. I basically have 4 MovieClips on my scene and a collection of MovieClips in the library. I want to be able to select 4 from the library at random, and display them on the stage. They will end up being clickable as its a kind of quiz where they click on the objects and the score is recorded. For now I need to get the hang of loading them at random. I also want to be able to make sure there are no duplicate buttons loaded to the stage. So far I have one movie exported to AS and displayed across the stage:

for(var i=0; i<4; i++)
{
    var appleMovie:appleMc    = new appleMc();      
   
    appleMovie.x = +Math.random()*50;
    appleMovie.y = +Math.random()*50;
    
    this.addChild(appleMovie);
}

I did try creating an array of movie clips names and then using:

var fruit = new Array("apple", "pear", "grape", "lemon");

But I can’t seem to use this within the for loop. Am I on the right path with this? Your help is appreciated, cheers.
