dynamic movie clip from assets

[drsmooth]

what i have is a portfolio site for my design company and i use a loadvars object to get a list of jobs we've done and some info about them.



next we made this movieclip in flash that represents a small tree, what i want to do is create a tree for each entry in the database and have each one display unique data on it. so far what i have is:

include('FolioItem.as');
// here is where the code will go to load
// the portfolio objects and then randomly
// position trees with their info on it
var c:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var itemArray:Array;
//initialize values
c.id = "";
c.name = "";
c.description = "";
c.date = "";
c.type = "";
c.image = "";
c.url = "";
c.onLoad = function()
{
    //first get the count
    var count = c['n'];
    //initialize the array to hold all the info
    itemArray = new Array(count);
    //now loop to create the classs objects for each index in the array
    for(var x =0; x < count; x++)
    {
        var f:FolioItem = new FolioItem(c['id'+x],
                                        c['name'+x],
                                        c['description'+x],
                                        c['date_complete'+x],
                                        c['type'+x],
                                        c['image'+x],
                                        c['url'+x]);
        itemArray[x] = f;
 
    }
}
//send
c.sendAndLoad("/conn/loadfolio.php", c, "POST");
 

and the FolioItem class:

//define a class to manage each portfolio entry

class FolioItem
{
    public var id;
    public var name;
    public var desc;
    public var date;
    public var type;
    public var imageurl;
    public var url;
    public function Song(i:String, n:String, de:String, da:String, t:String, iurl:String, u:String)
    {
        id = i;
        name = n;
        desc = de;
        date = da;
        type = t;
        imageurl = iurl;
        url = u;
    }
}
 

now what my problem is is how do i create instances of the tree movieclip and dynamically add them to the stage and then know which one is clicked on so i can load the appropriate information to a larger display.



im new to flash but i am a programmer so i know techniques and concepts im just fuzzy on how i might do something like this in flash...



thanks alot,
