ok… I did the following:

added an event Listener to my object:

```auto
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,clickHandler);

```

didn’t add any other MouseEvent listeners…  
still… now the function clickHandler is called at a mouse\_up event aswell… :s

in a destroy function, I remove this Event Listener:

```auto
removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,clickHandler);

```

after I removed the listener the mouse down doesn’t work anymore,  
the mouse\_up does…

Any solutions, or is this a know error?
