Simple AS3 - Mouse Click, spawn a movieClip on stage

Question

so any help would be appreciated. How would i go about setting up so a movieClip appears on the stage when a button is clicked?

sppawner_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spawnspinkjewel);

function spawnspinkjewel(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//------ ummmm 
}

thanks, I am new to AS3! :-)

Use addChild methos to add an element to stage.

 sppawner_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spawnspinkjewel);

    function spawnspinkjewel(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
      var myChild:MC= new MC();
      stage.addChild(myMC)
    }
