clock requirement, again

The part number is Cyclone EP1C3T100C6. The Macrofunctions I am referring to can be found under MAX+PLUS II and they have the standard TTL numbers as 74XXX. The board is a low-priced Chinese origin board. My question is, I think, rather simple: What kind of clock do I connect to, say, a circuit such as a flip flop or counter that requires a positive or negative-edge clock to work. For a latch, I use Pin 41, is connected to a pushbutton switch and works as an enable pulse. However, a flip flop requires a clock.
