Hi Aaron,
yeah.. tricky.
best i could come up with was to use the prototype of onMouseUp since
i guess it is rarely used for MovieClips, and then hitTest. this'll
only work for MovieClips though as Buttons have no hitTest method.
class ReleaseListener {
private var __clips : Array ;
public function ReleaseListener ( ) {
__clips = [ ] ;
Mouse.addListener ( this ) ;
var listener = this ;
MovieClip.prototype.onMouseUp = function ( ) {
if ( this.hitTest ( _root._xmouse , _root._ymouse ) ) {
listener.addClip ( this ) ;
}
}
}
public function addClip ( o : MovieClip ) {
if ( o != _root ) __clips.push ( o ) ;
}
public function onMouseUp ( Void ) : Void {
for ( var i : Number = 0 ; i < __clips.length ; i ++ ) {
trace ( __clips[ i ] + " onRelease" ) ;
}
__clips = [ ] ;
}
}
sorry i have no better solution.... anyone?
cheers, Alisdair

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..?
Thanks
a.

could you provide more detail on what you want to achieve?
the following would make a Class object receive all MovieClip
onRelease events. and would do so for a timeline with slightly
modified code. not sure this is what you mean though?
public function initOnRelease ( Void ) : Void {
var listener = this ;
MovieClip.prototype.onRelease = function ( ) { listener.sayHello
( ) ; } ;
}
public function sayHello ( Void ) : Void {
trace ( "HELLO!!!!" ) ;
}

Is this possible..?
Anyone know how to do it..?
I want to be able to add a listener with an onRelease function to any
movieclip.
The onRelease of the listener would be triggered whenever the
onRelease of
the movieclip is triggered.
Any help much appreciated.
