Hi people!

I have a set of buttons that dispatch an event when clicked on. One thing im kind of struggling with is to create a new object based on button clicked.

If i click on contact us, i need to load up the contact us module. However im not really sure how to do this without hard coding the values.

an example of hard coding the issue i mean:

private var menuArray:Array = (“option1”, “option2”, option3");

… on the buttons when clicked i dispatch a custom event

private function onClick(c:CustomEvent): Void
{
switch (c.id);
case 0:
currentSection = new Option1();
break;
// and so on and so forth

}

Is there a better way to go about this?

Thanks :smiley:
