MouseEvent Listener (What the hell)

programming flash

It’s never been an issue since I always anticipate it but just wondering…

if I put a MouseEvent listener on a movieclip/sprite…


whatever.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickAction, false, 0, true);

function clickAction(e:MouseEvent):void {
  trace(e.target);
}

that traces a movieclip inside the intended target…
