Thanks Atila,
I am totally new to programming in as3 and I am trying to make sense :)
I though it would be a good idea to keep the mouseEvents on the main
class file along with everything but as you said I moved it from there
to particleManager and it solved my problem. thanks.

You didn't add _sprite to the display list, so how could it trigger mouse
events if it is not even visible? And on the other hand, _sprite is
totally empty, it has no hit area where you can click and fire the
MOUSE_DOWN event. Why don't you add event listener to the particle
manager? Sorry if I miss something, but I don't understand exactly what
are you going to do.
