Hi Alisdair I want to create a class which would be able to detect which movieclip or button has been clicked whenever any movieclip or button is clicked.
I want this class to exist independently of any onRelease functions which have been assigned directly to movieclip instances. i.e. I don't want to have to include a call to my class in the onRelease function of every movieclip instance - I just want my class to listen for any onRelease events, and then do some action depending on which clip was clicked. The idea is that I could then include this class in movies which have already been created without having to go back through and add a call to my class into every button and movieclip onRelease function. If I set the MovieClip.prototype.onRelease as you suggest this would presumably then be overwritten by the direct assignment of the onRelease to the movieclip instance. I can make all movieclips broadcasters by using AsBroadcaster on the MovieClip.prototype, but this doesn't make them automatically broadcast the onRelease event. I was wondering if there was a way to do this with EventDispatcher or something similar..?
