hi.

I’m trying to create a card game (as3.0).

I create the deck, and deal all the deck’s cards on stage (movie clips) but I want to be selectable.

So while I’m creating every card I add to them an event listener on MOUSE\_DOWN that calls a function called _selectedCard_. For the moment, I want the _selectedCard_ function to change the x location of the clicked movie clip (card).

How is it possible to tell the function **which specific** movie clip is selected in order to change it’s x location?

I hope I made my self clear.

Thanks in advance
