I’m having some trouble turing an embedded image into a clickable button. Is there a quick way to do this. Here’s an idea of what i’ve tried thus far:

[Embed(source = “/…/lib/pic.jpg”)]  
public var pic:Class;

var button:Spite = new Sprite();  
var picButton:Bitmap = new pic();

button.buttonMode=true;  
button.useHandCursor=true;

button.addChild(picButton);  
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function);

Am I close? ;(
