Hi, I’m making a domino game for school pupils. I’d like it so that when the mouse is over a movieclip, the arrow keys will move it. up, down left right etc  
On the movieclips I have code along lines of -  
on key press , \_x = 80  
(don’t have fla on this computer)  
What my problem is, is working out the loop to do so that the cursor will recognise which movieclip it is on, so that the correct one moves when i move the arrow keys. I presume I need to put the code in the action frame and have seen on in Action script for games by Gary Rosensweig but am having difficulty adapting it to my 12 clips.  
Hope someone can help  
Cheers
