midi files in flash

Hello,
Someone helped me before how to import midi files into flash.
I'm lucky someone answered with this: as3midilib - MIDI for ActionScript 3.0 - Google Project Hosting

My goal is to let flash automatically make movieclips on the correct time corresponding with the right movieclip and afterwards they slide down just like in Synthesia. So each different movieclip represents a note sliding down.
EDIT: Basically, I want to clone the program Synthesia but made in Flash.
Example: Beethoven - Fur Elise [100% Speed] - YouTube

Now I'm missing something here, how can I tell Flash to create that certain type of movieclip and let it slide down ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Greetings

What experience do you have with AS3? You'll need to learn the basics first.
If your familiar to programming you may look up y, sprite, ENTER_FRAME and classes.

I'm studying it to be honest(multimedia in Belgium). So I can work with as3, i got the hang of the basics, but I'm not a professional ^^

The thing I'm looking for is how I can assign each movieclip to each note in that midi file.
EDIT: Would it be easier if I made an XML file of it first ?

I want to be able to dynamically create movieclips in flash based on a midi file.
So I converted the midi file to an .xml file first. I traced the number of events going on and the time of when an event starts or ends.
So to keep track of those times, I put them in an array.(keytimer[i])

The timer goes up 1microsecond at a time, for as long as the song is; in this case 190080 microseconds.
The thing I want is when the timer equals a number in this array(keytimer[i]), and only when the attribute is 'NoteOn', then it should create a movieclip.

I tried doing it like this; but he doesnt recognise the array:

Code:

---

if (current==keytimer[i]) {
                        trace("yes");
                }

---

Actionscript Code:

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("for_elise_by_beethoven.xml"));
function showXML(e:Event):void {
    XML.ignoreWhitespace=true;
    var songs:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
    trace(songs.Track.Event.length());
    var i:Number;
    var keytimer:Array = new Array();
    for (i=0; i < songs.Track.Event.length(); i++) {
        keytimer[i] =(" Time of the key: "+ songs.Track.Event[i].Absolute.text());
        if (current==keytimer[i]) {
            trace("yes");
        }
        //trace(keytimer[i]);
        //trace(" NoteOn: "+ songs.Track.Event[i].NoteOn.@Note);
        //trace(" NoteOff: "+ songs.Track.Event[i].NoteOff.@Note);
        //trace(" ");
    }
    var myTimer:Timer=new Timer(1,190000);
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,doStuff);
    var current:Number=0;
    myTimer.start();
    function doStuff(event:TimerEvent):void {
        current++;
        trace("current: "+ current);
        trace("keytimer: "+ keytimer[i]);
        //trace("keytimer: "+ keytimer[i]);
        /*if (current==keytimer[i]) {
        trace("yes");
        }*/

    }
}

The current xml file: (name: for_elise_by_beethoven.xml)
