Nested MovieClip events.

[peterpete]

Hello.

I have a Movieclip, let's call it mc. I have a second MovieClip called mc2 which is a child on mc. Normally if I wanted to add an event to mc2 I'd use mc2.addEventetc etc. However, this also selects the top level MovieClip, mc.

If I use the Flash graphical editor to place mc2 inside of mc, I can use mc.mc2. etc etc to access mc2, but I'm using:

mc.addChild(mc2);

So I can access mc2 and all of it's properties using mc2.etc etc, mc2.rotationY = 12; for example.

So, how can I detect, without an ENTER_FRAME and hit test, that I'm dispatching an event on mc2 and not mc?

Thank you.

When listening for an event, the event listener function will receive an event object as a paramter. This event object has two properties called .target and .currentTarget. http://www.wastedpotential.com/?p=10

Let me know if this wasn't what you really were asking about ;)
