Question about Mini Games Menu

programming flash
1

Hello Everyone,I’m happy to be here in this forum.

my question:
I’m trying to build a mini games Menu that have 3 difficulty levels with each having 5 buttons.
There are also 3 languages button.
All of them are sorted in arrays.

Each minigame has it’s own movie clip ,there are 15 minigames.

The issue is that I can’t recognize each button individually when I use the mouse click event,and also need to add a specific MovieClip(the minigame) as as a child after a specific button was pressed.

The event.target.name doesn’t work because of the random name giving of each instance in the array.

Help would be appreciated as better coding suggestions.

The class I use is called GameMenu.as and is a child of Main.as class.

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
