I'm trying my best to make a wheel of fortune game and I have the image of the the "unfilled" puzzle board and I want to convert each and every one of these "unused" letters to a movieclip or something so I can dymanicly load a letter in a certan place is it possible to make an array of a movie clip object so I can change the images when I need to?

Yes you can make an array of Movieclip objects. You would do something like this :

var arr:Array = new Array();

for (var i:int=0; i<6; i++){
 var new_mc = new MovieClip();
 addChild(new_mc);
 arr.push(new_mc);
}

Now whenever you need to access them, you can simply reference them from the array:

var _mc:MovieClip = arr[i] as MovieClip;

Yes, it's quite possible to create MovieClip arrays.
As per Flex SDK coding conventions, your code should like something like this:

var a:Array /* of MovieClip*/ = [];

But it may be worth your while to look into using vectors for arrays of single data types.

var v:Vector.<MovieClip>;
v = new Vector.<MovieClip>();

The interface for vectors is similar to arrays.
This way, you can avoid having to cast an array to movieclip, so it's more robust, and so I believe, more speed efficient.
