hmm, i am getting the event.currentTarget.x and y coordinates but how to move the focus up or down to other targets? each new button object created has the same var name so it just goes to the very last one created. I tried using a counter for assigning var names but that gives me an error, I also tried by ID and by Name to no avail either. I am so close. get this one and win a free fruit basket.
