Hey, I want to make two events, one for the 2.0 equivalent of onPress, and other for the 2.0 equivalent of onRelease.

So far, the only event that I’ve found is like this:

```auto
myMC.addEventListener("click", startDragEvent);

```

and something like this doesn’t work:

```auto
myMC.addEventListener("onPress", startDragEvent);
myMC.addEventListener("onRelease", stopDragEvent);

```

Is there a way to get that onPress and onRelease event?

Thanks a lot
