I have a movieclip called polaroid from the library. The code below works as expected- (minus a few other irrelevent lines). The code produces a 2x5 grid of polaroid objects (basically squares). The problem is in the event listener. When i click on one of the polaroids, i want the dropandsplash effect to affect only the instance of the polaroid object i’ve clicked. It seems to me that there is no way to reference the obj[count] that the event is attached to (eg: using “this” reference) in dropandsplash. the result is the entire stage doing the dropandsplash rather that the “clicked” instance of polaroid. I know i can use obj[0], obj[1], etc, but i need to reference the polaroid instance directly. Is it possible to reference itself within the scope of the dropandsplash evenlistener callback? I know it was possible to achieve this in AS2 using attachMovie. Thanks in advance. -bmiles

obj[count] = new polaroid();
this.addChild(obj[count]);

obj[count].y=i130;
obj[count].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dropAndSplash);
trace(obj[count].x);

var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(this, “scaleX”, None.easeOut, 1,0.7, 0.2, true);
var myTween3:Tween = new Tween(this, “scaleY”, None.easeOut, 1, 0.7, 0.2, true);
