How do I choose animation based on Instance variable?

I have a MAIN SPRITE with 6 animations (1, 2, 3,etc). When I rollover a different "hover" sprite (named "hotspot"), I identify an instance number variable (named "stage" 1, 2, 3,etc) --- I Then create a new instance of my MAIN SPRITE and I want the animation to play based on the matching instance variable.

For example when I rollover hover sprite and the instance variable is 3, I click to create new object MAIN SPRITE and it should play animation 3. See attached screen shot of attempt.
