please help, how can i make this work?  
you press on the tipka\_mc and you declare clip variable with new value, then use it with onRelease, what’s wrong???

tipka\_mc.onPress = function(){  
trace(“press”);  
clip = tipka\_mc;  
}

clip.onRelease = function(){  
trace(“release”);  
}

muchos gracias!
