use the bitmapdata hittest or make your letters buttons and store which undergo a mouseover or make sure your letters have no border white space.

p.s.  i can see you would have problems, but i can't see how you would have that many letters extraneously added to the list of letters moused-over.  you must be using some pretty screwy way of detecting a mouseover/positive hittest.

var lettersA:Array=[your letters]

var selected_lettersA:Array = [];

for(var i:int=0;i<lettersA.length;i++){

lettersA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,overF);

}

function new_word_selectionF():void{

selected_lettersA.length=0;

}

function overF(e:MouseEvent):void{

selected_lettersA.push(e.currentTarget);

}

function check_lettersF():void{

for(var i:int=0;i<selected_lettersA.length;i++){

trace(selected_lettersA.name);

}

}
