create a matchstick movieclip.

arrange your movieclips to form the initial layout and assign instance names to your matchstick movieclips.  add click event listeners to each one and on click move the clicked matchstick to a 'removal' pile.  (clicking on a removed matchstick should return it to its original position.)

you can decide how to end game.  eg, after 6 clicks, when the used clicks has a discard pile that contains one of the two groups etc.

i did that. i created the movie clips and added the instance name and added the event listener. and what you said is exactly what i want to do but i struggled with the coding. So if you have any idea of how to achieve this in action script i'll be thankful.

var discardP:MovieClip=new MovieClip();

addChild(discardP);

discardP.x=?

discardP.y=?

var matchNum:int = 16;

for (var i:int=0;i<matchNum;i++){

this['match_'+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.click,matchClickF):

}

function matchClickF(e:MouseEvent):void{

if(e.currentTarget.parent==discardP){

this.addChild(e.currentTarget);

} else{

discardP.addChild(e.currentTarget);

}

}
