I need some input here, please.

AS3…

let’s say I have: var myText:String = “The quick brown fox”;

I need to put that in a text field or area so that when I click on:

The - perform action for “the”  
quick - perform action for “quick”  
brown - perform action for “brown”  
fox - perform action for “fox”.

Any suggestions are welcome as I’m against a tight deadline.
