I would like to know which is the [COLOR=red]Actionscript[/COLOR] command that “captures” a mouse click in a text box.  
Basically I have a text box, and whenever I [COLOR=red]select[/COLOR] some text or [COLOR=red]click[/COLOR] in the text box, I want to start/stop a movie clip on the stage which has an embedded video inside.

Any help will be appreciated  
Thanks
