cool, you learn something everyday: I never knew you could put a string as the Event type. Thanks.

I added the missing bracket to the example code.

The error appears because I put two Enter keys in the attached string for “url” variable so all the example code to be displayed. When you test it in Flash write it in a single line. Also a “}” is missing for the function to be ended.

For the MouseEvent you can use both the string like I do or the longer version, i’m used with the first one:)

quick question: stated playing around with this, kicks out

“1095: Syntax error: A string literal must be terminated before the line break.” regarding the var url string.

also never seen “mousedown” as the event type. I’m used to addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mousePress)…. is that a different way to event type a listener?
