flash actionscript: :confused;

Ok, this may not be that big of a problem, but i've wasted away several hours
trying to fix my problem here....
Im trying to make a sort of matching game, with questions and a wordbank. A
user should be able to drag the words from the word bank into the boxes and
then a check will be done on the drop on wether or not it is in the correct
box.
The catch here is that it is all dynamic movie clips. I dont know how many
questions and answers they are because they are changed and loaded from an XML
file.

I dont know if it is going to work but I was hoping to just declare an id for
each one of the clips as i created them, but i still dont know how to match
them up...

I desperatly need help getting the checking part of this working, as right now
I cannot even figure out the logic behind it. I cant hard code in any drop
zone boundaries, because I dont know how many questions and answers, or what
box, and after I get this working I have to be able to randomize the wordbank.

Any help is going to be greatly appreciated.

I wrote a simliar engine for a dynamic quiz generator. This is really close.
You should add code to your clip.onRelease event to call a function that will
check to see if 2 movieclips "id" properties are the same.

clip.onRelease = functio() {
stopDrag();
compareID(this, eval(this._droptarget));
};

Then somewhere outside your buildAnswerList function define your compareID
function (or whatever you would like to name it).

function compareID(m1:MovieClip, m2:MovieClip) {
if (m1.id == m2.id) {
// they match!
} else {
// they don't!
}

}

This is just the basic idea but should get you started.
