flashcards activity problem: matching image and answer arrays

Hi there, I hope someone can help...

I'm building a Flashcard activity:

     click button -> show random image (from dynamic array);

     click button -> show answer (from another array) that matches image.

I have the random images part sorted; but having problems identifying the current image shown so that its index can be matched against the answer array's index.

Here are relevant code bits:

//add image holder

var holder:picHolder = new picHolder();

addChild(holder);

//set up image array and random variable

var allPics:Array = [];

for (var i:int = 1; i<=numPics; i++)

{

var thePic:Class = getDefinitionByName("pic" + i) as Class;

var myPic:MovieClip = new thePic();

myPic.name = "pic" + i;

allPics.push(myPic);

}

var nextCard = Math.round(Math.random() * allPics.length - 1);

//next card button and random image function: toggle answer & button visibles, call random function

nextFC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, swapButtons);

function swapButtons(event:MouseEvent):void

{

theAnswer.visible = false;

nextFC.visible = false;

checkMe.visible = true;

placeCard(event);

}

function placeCard(event:MouseEvent):void

{

nextCard = Math.round(Math.random() * allPics.length - 1);

nextCard = (nextCard > -1) ? nextCard : 0;

holder.addChild(allPics[nextCard]);

}

var allAnswers:Array = ["Flower","Landscape","Shrub","Jellyfish"];

//call answer function

checkMe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showAnswer);

//answer function: hide check button, show answer and next button;

function showAnswer(event:MouseEvent):void

{

checkMe.visible = false;

holder.removeChild(allPics[nextCard]);

theAnswer.visible = true;

//test

theAnswer.text = "description here - need match answer in allAnswers array with random image from allPics array.";

//end test

nextFC.visible = true;

}

Many thanks for any help anyone can give to solve this .

ps:

If you like I can paste in whole code in case it makes it easier to see what I'm trying to do (acn't see a way to upload FLA to this forum).
