Generate dynamic objects in Flash

Question

I'd like to use a conditional loop to generate objects dinamically and i'd like to know if it is possible to do this in Flash.
I try to explain better what i want to do; i have to let users to choose a number of balls to display on the stage, something like this:
var balls; //it contains the numbers picked by the user
if ( balls == 0) display nothing on the stage;
if ( balls != 0){
for (n < balls){
plot a ball on the stage
How it is possible to generate objects by looking on user decisions?
At the moment, i just know how to add a given number of objects on the stage and how to arrange them, but i do not know how to generate them depending on the user choices.
Can you help me?
I tryed to search on google, but i found nothing: what kind of tutorial should i read to accomplish this task?
Thanks to all.

The first thing you should do is get the code off of the button and into the timeline.  Placing code on objects is not a healthy practice. Also, you do not want to place the object is the same depth... they cannot co-exist there.  Give the button an instance name (maybe "btn"), and in the timeline use the code...
btn.onRelease = function(){  
     for(i=1; i<=3; i++){ 
        main.attachMovie("att1", "newname"+i, main.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:100, _y:100});
        main.attachMovie("tavolo", "prova"+i, main.getNextHighestDepth());
