This works fine for me when i dynamically create a movieClip whose contentPath is http://www.someserver.com/something.JPG but when the contentPath is a SWF file, it doesn't make the movieClip clickable! grrr. I call the onPress event dynamically within the onLoadComplete event handler... I'm going nuts?!

Nope. I have the same issue, and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
If I am, there's no real documentation that says so.

How do you remove an onPress event without removing the movieclip
from the stage?

How do you write a dynamic onPress event ? I hjave 8 movie clips that
all need the same eventHandlers. Can i write a loop that will create an
event handler for each MC?

Take a look at using the Delegate class. This is not tested but I would try something like:

onPress = Delegate.create(MyHandlerClass,MyHandlerClassFunction);
or
onPress = Delegate.create(root,rootFunctionHere);

Sorry I dont have time to test.
