Looks like you're attaching your plane to the same MovieClip instance, thus destroying any/all objects that was previously on that MovieClip instance. Depends on how you're instantiating your creationObject. BTW, just a comment on your implementation: I would use a custom class to set properties for creation and animation rather than a generic object. This way, you can avoid having to iterate through the object and then you can just composition your custom class/object. In Java, this would be equivalent to a Value Object or a Data Transfer Object.
