Hello all. This is pretty simple and I think I’m pretty close, but I can’t seem to get this to work. Basic functionality will be that wherever you click on the stage, a random MovieClip will be displayed.

I’ve been out of the Flash game for a few months so I’m quite rusty. Any help is greatly appreciated.

```auto
class Main {
	private var $mcRef:MovieClip;
	private var $myArray01:Array;
	private var $clickListener:Object;
	
	public function Main() {
		this.$mcRef.$clickListener.owner = this;
		Mouse.addListener($clickListener);
		this.$mcRef.$clickListener.onMouseDown = function():Void {
			this.owner._x = _xmouse;
			this.owner._y = _ymouse;
			this.owner.randStar();
		}
	}
	
	private function randStar():Void {
		this.$myArray01 = new Array("star01", "star02", "star03", "star04", "star05");
		var myArrayLength:Number = this.$myArray01.length;
		var inRand:Number = random(myArrayLength);
		this.$mcRef.attachMovie($myArray01[inRand], $myArray01[inRand]+"_2", 1);
	}
}

```
