How to addChild from an array of MC's based on e.target?

I have an array of 8 movie clips which can be dragged and dropped onto an MC that is their common hitObject.

I would like whichever mc is being dragged to be added as the child of the hitObject MC when it is dropped, however I am having troubles setting up the code.

Currently, I can only have one specific instance added as a child of the hitObject MC because I don't know what to write inside the addChild() parameter aside from a specific instance name (neither "e.target" nor the array name are acceptable).

Here's my code --any and all help will be most appreciated:

Code:

---

var redArray:Array = [red,red1,red2,red3,red4,red5,red6,red7];

redArray.forEach(setupDrag);
function setupDrag(dragger:MovieClip, index:int, array:Array):void {
    dragger.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragRed);
        dragger.buttonMode=true;}
       
redArray.forEach(setupDrop);
function setupDrop(dropper:MovieClip, index:int, array:Array):void {
    dropper.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropRed);
        dropper.buttonMode=true;}

function dragRed(e:Event):void{
                e.target.startDrag();}

function dropRed(e:Event):void{
                e.target.stopDrag();
                if (e.target.hitTestObject(drawer_mc))
                {
                drawer_mc.addChild(red1); // THIS LINE IS MY PROBLEM --WHAT TO REPLACE red1 WITH?
                red1.y=10;
                }
}

Thanks in advance!

After receiving a TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor, I found this thread which gave me what I needed to solve the problem of what to put in the addChild () parameters in order to have whatever e.target was being dragged be added as child.

Here's what I added to the if part of my code:

if (e.target.hitTestObject(drawer_mc))
{
var newObject:MovieClip = new e.currentTarget.constructor();
newObject.x = e.currentTarget.x;
newObject.y = e.currentTarget.y;
drawer_mc.addChild(newObject);
newObject.y=0;
e.target.visible=false;
}

How to write a code in AS3, that places letters from library to stage by pressing keyboard. Alphabetic letters are symbols.
IF THERE ANY way to place letters on stage only once?
Thank you
