## hi I have this problem with mouse events simply I added two listeners on a movieClip that simply contains two keyframes 1 and 2 the code is in external class file of the movieClip

addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN,downEvent);  
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_UP,upEvent);

## private function downEvent(event:MouseEvent){ gotoAndStop(2); } private function upEvent(event:MouseEvent){ gotoAndStop(1); }

but when it goes to frame 2 it does not answer the moseUp event and stucks in frame 2  
please help me
