this doesnt work any more and its pissing me off, I used this before and it always worked…

```auto
var lastClickedButton:MovieClip=null;

function scanChange(e:MouseEvent):void {

    if (lastClickedButton!=null) {
        lastClickedButton.mouseEnabled=true;
    }
    e.target.mouseEnabled=false;
    lastClickedButton=e.target;
}

```

I use movieClips, not Objects and I get this error while compiling:

1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip. and it points to this line:

```auto
lastClickedButton=e.target;

```

and if I say this:

```auto
var lastClickedButton:Object=null;

```

I get this weird error while compiling  
in the output window:

TypeError: Error #1016: Descendants operator (…) not supported on type flash.display.MovieClip.  
at newvideo38\_fla::MainTimeline/newvideo38\_fla::frame1()

and I am not using any double dot nowhere…
