Ok, I’m generating upto 50 dynamic movieclips that contain text boxes (also created at runtime) and an image (loaded at runtime). I want to be able to click on one of those but no matter where I click on stage, all of the movieclip’s onMouseDown event triggers! I’ve tried setting \_height, \_width and have checked the movieclips bounds (getBounds) but I’m lost!

I don’t want to use onPress because I need to add double click functionality (if anyone knows a nice way of adding that it would be great!) and as far as I’m aware, onPress is not part of the Mouse object.

Any ideas?
