</div>

from the actionscript language reference in mx2004:

**on()**

Availability  
Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2.

Usage  
on(mouseEvent) {  
// your statements here  
}

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2.[/COLOR] \<---- !!! which ones aren’t supported? i couldn’t find this in the AS2 docs anywhere.

and would this mean the same thing for this usage?  
target.onMouseEvent = function(){  
}

**FLASH** 2, _not_ _ActionScript_ 2. Flash is on version 7 now (MX2004). Before 7, there was 6 (MX). Before 6, there was 5. Before that, 4 and before 4 was 3, 2, and 1. Flash 2 started the whole on(event) craze :crazy: though, they werent swift enough to pick up on all the events that would be added later… like in Flash 3.

In your case, working in Flash 7, you have absolutely NOTHING to worry about :pleased:
