                              trace(j);

                              button.y = 300;

                              textlabel.text = "b";

                              textlabel.y = 5;

                              //add answer button listner

                              button.addeventlistener(mouseevent.mouse_down, answerb_mousedown);

                    }

                    if (j == 3)

                    {

                              trace(j);

                              button.y = 325;

                              textlabel.text = "c";

                              textlabel.y = 5;

                              //add answer button listner

                              button.addeventlistener(mouseevent.mouse_down, answerc_mousedown);

                    }

          }

}

remove clear(), make sure you're calling drawbuttons , make sure stage large enough (esp width) see buttons.
