Is there a way to capture what movieclip that have been clicked so I don’t have to wright a new “nextFrame” function for every clip

myClip\_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER, overMyClip)  
myClip\_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OUT, overMyClip)

function overMyClip(event:MouseEvent)  
{  
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, overMyClipPlay)  
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, overMyClipRew)  
}

function overMyClip(event:MouseEvent)  
{  
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, overMyClipRew)  
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, overMyClipPlay)  
}

function overMyClipPlay (event:Event)  
{  
myClip\_mc.nextFrame()  
}

function overMyClipRew (event:Event)  
{  
myClip\_mc.prevFrame()  
}

Thanks!
