I created a scene that allows the user to attach multiple instances of several movie clips. I want the user to be able to manually rotate any movie clip they wish via a button. While I understand how to create the button and write the rotation script, I am completely at a loss on how to go about writing the code that would allow the user to select the MC they want to rotate by first clicking it with their mouse and then rotating it with the button…

Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks.
