Select object with keyboard?

I have 4 objects on screen. I need to select each object with number keys 1 - 4. In other words, I need to select object 1 with the #1 key to make it active and then move it in 4 directions with the arrow keys and so on with each of the objects 2, 3 and 4. I only need one object active at a time. Could someone help me with this.

Give them 2 movements and change them when you press 1-4? Or do you want a custom movement?

Thanks Werbad for the reply, but I'm new to this software and I don't follow you on the 2 movements for each object. I follow on adding an additional movement for the object but where do I add the key press for 1-4 for each object?

Werbad, would a custom movement be easier?

A custom movement is harder, but often the result will be better than with the standard movements.
What I meant was that it is possible to add multiple movements to an object where one is static (no movement) and the other is Eight directions. Then in the event editor you can add events to change movement for all objects when you pres a numerical key.
I could make an example application for you if you want.

An example would be great. I've tried adding a keyboard event for each object but I can't get it right. My programing is limited.

Ok, Made an example:

Thanks. Now that I see the example, its rather simple. I didn't see the "Select Movement" option before. You've been a great help. Thank you.
