I’m working on an inherited project where most assets are placed on the stage including a button that I’m trying to add a CLICK event listener on.

In my document class, the event listener is being attached like so:

```auto
dailyBonusMC.dailyBonus.bonusButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onbonusButtonClick);

```

As this is part of a larger project where testing needs to be done in the browser, I’ve set up console.log calls to make sure it’s[LIST=1]  
[_]reaching the addEventListener line and  
[_]checking to see if it attaches the listener using hasEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK)  
[/LIST]The line is definitely being reached and the listener is definitely being attached. I even tried to create a transparent Sprite over top of the button to receive the CLICK event but that didn’t work either.

Any thoughts?

P.S. Any word on what’s up with the [actionscript.org](http://actionscript.org) forums?
