I’m having problems with creating a class that holds all the code for my event & listeners that listens for objects that are in a different class.  
package {  
import flash.display._;  
import flash.events._;

```
 public class Prospect extends MovieClip {
      var theLogin:MovieClip = new login();

      public function Prospect () {

      }
 }

```

]

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

package {  
import flash.events.\*  
import flash.display.\*;

```
 public class TheEvents extends Prospect implements IEvents {

      public function TheEvents () {

      }
      public function LoginEvents():void {
           theLogin.loginBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loginClick);
           function loginClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
                trace('login button clicked');
           }
      }
 }

```

}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

package {  
import flash.display._;  
import flash.events._;

```
 public class Main extends MovieClip {
 var theProspect:Prospect = new Prospect();
 var events:TheEvents = new TheEvents();

      public function Main () {
           addChild(theProspects.theLogin);
           events.LoginEvents();
      }
 }

```

}

Basically I am trying to set the listener to listen for an object that is in a different class.  
When I test my project with this concept I don’t get any errors but I don’t see the trace statement from TheEvents class after I click the loginBtn.

Any help or better way of accomplishing this would be greatly appreciated.
