DYNAMIC text fields randomly attached and attacking by typing

HI,
I have dynamic text boxes in a typing game that when a random number is produced it attaches the text filed, applys arandom letter or word, and it falls down the stage along with a creature graphic.

The idea is you have to type the letter or word attached to the MC to kill it and then just send the MC to a different frame.

We have the attaching and falling done but cant work out how to get it to die when you type the letter or word.

I have tried things like

-------

Actionscript:

KeyListener = new Object();
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
for (i=0, i
if (newbaddie.charAt(i) == (String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii())) {
die = true;
}
}

-----------

But NO JOY ?
we then have the problem of How do I set the focus of which MC we are trying to kill ?

If you start typing one ,..I want the viewer to HAVE to finish that one.. before he can kill any others !

so I guess I dont know how to set the focus of the Dynamic text field?

I have the MC's falling at differnt random speeds aswell

Any ideas
Thanks in advance
