dynamic menu in AS3

[Rami_sk-6ZXO9L]

I would like to create in AS3, something like, it's in AS2

//_root

var menuArray:Array=new Array("menu0","menu1","menu2","menu3","menu4","menu5");

var gap:Number=10;

var xmenu:Number=10;

for (var i:Number=0;i<menuArray.length;i++){

    this.attachMovie("menu_bot", "menu"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:xmenu, _y:100});

    xmenu=xmenu+this["menu"+i]._width+gap;

    this["menu"+i].num=i;

    }

//menu_bot

var num:Number;

textM.text=_root.menuArray[num];

this.onPress=function(){

    trace(num);

    }

The AS3 code would be something along the lines of...

var menuArray:Array=new Array("menu0","menu1","menu2","menu3","menu4","menu5");

var gap:Number=10;
var xmenu:Number=10;

for (var i:Number=0;i<menuArray.length;i++){

    var ClassRef:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("menu"+i));
    var classInstance:* = new ClassRef();
    classInstance.x = xmenu;
    classInstance.y = 100;
    addChild(classInstance);
    xmenu=xmenu+classInstance.width+gap;
    classInstance.num=i;
   classInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, traceNum);
}

function traceNum(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   trace(evt.currentTarget.num)
}

Thank you,
but there is a problem,
I have one Boton in a library

[Rami_sk-6ZXO9L]

I found this solution it

does not seem to me to be the most professional, but it works

var Path = this;

var Array_menu:Array=new Array("menu0","menu1","menu2","menu3","menu4","menu5");

var Array_Class:Array = [];

for (var i:Number=0;i<Array_menu.length;i++){

    Array_Class.push(Menu_bot);

    }

var gap:Number=10;

var xmenu:Number=10;

for (var j:Number=0;j<Array_Class.length;j++)

         {

              var ClassRef : Object = Array_Class;

              var classInstance : * = new ClassRef();

              classInstance.x = xmenu;

              classInstance.y = 100;

              Path.addChild(classInstance);

              classInstance.num = new Number(j);

              classInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, tracek);

              xmenu+= classInstance.width + gap;

         }

function tracek(e:MouseEvent) : void

{

    trace(e.currentTarget.num);

}

If you only have one button symbol you did not need to do alot of what you have done. 

Your initial posting asked how to code the AS2 version as AS3 and that is what I provided.  If what you asked to have translated does not meet your design needs that is a different matter unrelated to your posting.

well you understood me, I want an alternative to the script what I put in AS2,
but I think. of the script as you sent me centenary assume that I have in the library button menu0 menu1 .....
But I have only one menu button.
because I tried it and it did not work.
var ClassRef: Class = Class (getDefinitionByName ("menu" + i));
I will be happy if later you look again
