Property addEventListener not found on flash.geom.Rectangle and there is no default v

[weska]

Hey so I'm having trouble with this :

var rect = new Rectangle(b2.grid.x,b2.grid.y,b2.grid.width,b2.grid.height);
rect.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,test);

I have a new Object "b2". It comes from my class DrawGrid.as,
which generates a bmp, and a lot more bmps copyPixeled to it.

I'm trying to make that bmp clickable, so I made a rectangle to click on,
but its returning this error

Property addEventListener not found on flash.geom.Rectangle and there is no default value.

So I was wondering why I can't add evenlistener to my rectangle or if I'm just doing something wrong.

Thanks a million.

So event listeners can only be added to display objects? Something that has been addChild'd? I made a new sprite, and added my object to the sprite, then addChild(sprite), add event listener and it works .

addEventListener can only be used with EventDispatcher instances.
