Well, there are several ways to achieve your goal but I think that the
best and most elegant solution is creating a class for your buttons
which implements an event dispatching mechanism (e.g. Macromedia's
EventDispatcher) and dispatches a click event when the button was
pressed by the user. In your Question class simply add listeners to
the click events of the button instances (and use a delegation
implementation, e.g. mx.utils.Delegate).

AS>
AS> var answerButton = _root.questionInterface["button_"+aNum];
AS> // pseudo code:
AS> make the onRelease of answerButton make a call to the function
AS> AnswerSelected(aNum) inside of this
AS> //
AS>
AS> // I have tried the following, but it's not right
AS> answerButton.onRelease = function() { this.GiveAnswer(aNum);};
