Minor edits: Shoulds say "invoked WHEN the mouse button". Also,
under Example it says "onPress" when it should say "onRelease"

The following code works if it is inside a movie clip instance:
this.onRelease=function(){
trace("movie was clicked");
}

But if you place it on the _root timeline, it doesn't work. I am just curious as to why this is. Other event handlers work on the _root timeline, for example: onEnterFrame.

var x:Number=0;
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
x++;
trace("test "+x);
}

Hi guys!

I'm using this method to pass variables in mouse functions such as
onPress and onRelease.

var myMovie = _root.attacheMovie (...

myMovie["Data"] = this;

muMovie.onrelease = myOnReleaseFunction;

function myOnReleaseFunction () {

var localThis = this["Data"]["myMovie"]["Data"];

// In this case, localThis is the same as _root.this and it works fine and
classes

}

I have a class that creates a movieclip on the main timeline. Id like the class to deal with the onRelease event but cant get it to call the function inside the class like i can with components.

myMovieClip.onRelease = dosomething;

i know its trying to make the call to the function on the _root, how can i get it to make the class functions
