In a nutshell I’m adding duplicates of the same child when the user clicks on “addBtn”. How would I use SOs to save the children that have been added?

Cheers

My code:  
var container\_mc:MovieClip;  
var juryMC:MovieClip;  
container\_mc = new MovieClip();  
addChild(container\_mc);  
addBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAdd);  
function onAdd(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
juryMC = new jury();  
juryMC.x = Math.random() \* stage.stageWidth;  
juryMC.y = Math.random() \* stage.stageHeight;  
container\_mc.addChild(juryMC);  
}
