ActionScript: Duplicating Objects in a Loop?

[Dennis620]

So I posted a question before and thanks to the community I was able to overcome an issue I was struggling with and made great progress in my program. Unfortunately I have run into another problem.

The follow code produces a strawberry image that falls from the top of the screen to the bottom. I tried using a for loop to create 10 different instances of this but it doesn't seem to work for me. Anyone have any suggestions?
(Note: ranx is a number produced randomly earlier in the program)

var nstrawberry:strawberry = new strawberry();
	stage.addChild(nstrawberry);
	nstrawberry.x = ranx;
	nstrawberry.y = stage.stageHeight-800;
	nstrawberry.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, do_move_fruit);
	
		function do_move_fruit(f:Event):void 
		{ //start do_move_fruit
		f.currentTarget.y+=15;
		if (f.currentTarget.y > 450) 
		{ //start if
		f.currentTarget.removeEventList
ener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, do_move_fruit);
		stage.removeChild(strawberry(f.currentTarget));
		}//end if
	}//end do_move_fruit

My second question is how do I check the collisions between the object the code above produces and the object the follow code produces:

function make_balloon(event:KeyboardEvent):void 
{ //start make_balloon
	switch (event.keyCode) 
	{ //start switch

		case Keyboard.SPACE :
			var nballoon:bballoon = new bballoon();
			stage.addChild(nballoon);
			nballoon.x = tobpos;
			nballoon.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
			nballoon.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, do_move);
			break;

		default :
			break;
	}//end switch

}//end make_balloon

function do_move(e:Event):void 
{ //start do_move
	e.currentTarget.y-=10;
	if (e.currentTarget.y < 0) 
	{ //start if
		e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, do_move);
		stage.removeChild(bballoon(e.currentTarget));
	} //end if
} //end do_move

I feel like the solution is much more simpler than I think it is but I just can't seem to figure it out.

Please help!

Oh man that's awesome! Thank you! It's so neat too...I'd hate for you to see what mess I came up with
