here is my code, i draw two ciricle on the stage. Each circle can controlled by another circle on the stage. That’s mean if i click circle1, then some action will be taken on circle 2. but the following code doesnt work, how can i control any other object using addEventListener ??

package {  
import flash.display.Sprite;  
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class testing extends Sprtie {  
public function testing() {

var cir1:Sprite = new Sprite();  
cir1.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);  
cir1.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,100);  
cir1.graphics.endFill();  
addChild(cir1);  
var cir2:Sprite = new Sprite();  
cir2.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);  
cir2.graphics.drawCircle(200,200,100);  
cir2.graphics.endFill();  
addChild(cir2);

```
    cir1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dnHandler);

```

}  
private function dnHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {  
cir2.x = 500;  
}  
}  
}
