function onNodeOver(e:MouseEvent):void  
{  
var n:Node = e.currentTarget as Node;  
var testNode:Node;  
for (var i:int = 0; i \< \_nodes.length; i++)  
{  
testNode = \_nodes\*;  
if (testNode.row \< n.row - 1 || testNode.row \> n.row + 1)  
{  
continue;  
}  
if (testNode.col \< n.col - 1 || testNode.col \> n.col + 1)  
{  
continue;  
}  
testNode.highlight( 0xFF0000 );  
testNode.alpha =1  
}

}  
node is a small square  
this gives me  
(row1,column1)(row1,column2)(row1,column3)  
(row2,column1)(row2,column2)(row2,column3)  
(row3,column1) (row3,column2)(row3,column3)  
i want it is  
(row1,column2)  
(row2,column1)(row2,column2)(row2,column3)  
(row3,column2)  
does anyone know how i could change this loop to ignore the diagonal nodes?
