Hello, let me introduce myself.  
I’m craqueleure and am new to programming.  
However, I’ve tried some basic algorithms to make a typing program in Flash 8.  
The alphabet has a size of 50\*50px.

The problem with this is that it doesn’t have a backspace function. Then, I added

I have been figuring out how to do this since months ago.  
Because I don’t know the syntax and anything in Flash 8, I searched for it on the Internet. I’ve got some time because I’m in a holiday.  
Actually just a few hours ago I managed to complete the actions in the first image, but I’ve got some problems in doing the second image (backspace function).  
The backspace function will delete the last-created character.  
The code looks like this

```auto
var xposisi:Number = 0; //the x of the movie clip created
var yposisi:Number = 0; //the y of the movie clip created
var nomor:Number = 0; //the number of the movie clip
var namo:String = "cacaca";
var namonyo:String = namo.concat(nomor); //the name of the instance of the last movie clip
var mvc:MovieClip; //I want to utilise this

stop;

function myHello () {
    if (xposisi > 501) {
            {yposisi = yposisi + 50;
            xposisi = 0;
            }
    }
}

setInterval(myHello, 20);

keyListener = new Object();
    keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == 65){
                _root.attachMovie("hua", namonyo, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:xposisi, _y:yposisi});
                xposisi = xposisi + 50;
                nomor = nomor + 1;
                
                }
}
else if... until Z
Key.addListener(keyListener);

**keyListener2 = new Object();**
**keyListener2.onKeyDown = function() {**
**if (Key.getCode() == 8)**
 **{**
**if (xposisi = 0)**
 **{**
**_root.removeMovieClip(namonyo);**
 **yposisi = yposisi - 50;**
 **xposisi = 500;**
 **}**
 **else**
 **{**
**_root.removeMovieClip(namonyo);**
 **xposisi = xposisi - 50;**
 **}**
 **}**
 **}**
**Key.addListener(keyListener2);**
        

```

If any people here could provide me with some help I will be very pleased.  
Thank you 🙂
