New to flash!  
I normally write javascript code, so I wonder how to do this.  
In JS “Microsoft IS” you’ll write code like this:

document.onclick = func;

function func()  
{  
var obj = event.srcElement; //And there I have reference to the object;  
}

The graphic designer creates flash drawings and then converts whatever objects to movieclips. Then passes them over to me. All these “mc” need the same action applied to them. So I don’t need to know how many they are or their names…Can this be done in Flash???  
Thanx
