I’m creating something like a text editor. I have text-movieclips at set coordinates. I’m trying to create a function to delete entries.  
My idea is that my cursor is at the text-mc’s coordinate so I’d like to be able to connect the delete key to any clip that happens to match my cursor(x,y). Like this:

if ((Key.getCode() == Key.DELETEKEY)){  
if((anytxtclip == cursor.\_x) && (anytxtclip == cursor.\_y)) {  
delete anytxtclip  
}}

I think I’m looking for a world variable to describe anytxtclip.
