Hi everyone! 🙂

This is my first post here.

I’d like to completely erase an onPress = function() statement.

I’m using

delete movieclip.onPress

… and it works because no actions happens when I press that movieclip. But the problem is there’s still an on press statement but empty, and I can’t make any onpress on the inside movieclips.

BTW I still see the hand after using delete mc.onPress even if there are no actions assigned to that event.

TIA!  
Regards

Pier
