Slightly Annoying Issue

Hi guys,

Still loving your work and was wondering if someone could help me out a bit here. I am writing a small game and have a limited knowledge of AS2 but all seems to be going well and thankfully I am nearly done. I have one major issue mind. I have a section which allows the player to place bets on a horse, these are represented by plus and minus buttons for each horse (of which there are six). The problem I have when you click on one quickly it does not always update, it is like there is a lag between them.

On MouseDown seems to work well but I have found that if I use this event handler it fires all of the mc instead of the one I want, so I have reverted back to old school.

You will have to excuse the crudeness of the code, I am experimenting but here it is


onEnterFrame = function()
{
    
    if (_root.raceStatus != "racing")
    {
        _root.bettingBar.add1.onPress = function()
        {
            if (_root.playerCash > 0)
            {
                stake1 = stake1 + 1
                _root.playerCash = _root.playerCash - 1
            } 
            
        }
        
        _root.bettingBar.minus1.onPress = function()
        {
            if (stake1 > 0)
            {
                stake1 = stake1 - 1
                _root.playerCash = _root.playerCash + 1
            } else {
                stake1 = 0
            }
            
        }
        
        _root.bettingBar.add2.onPress = function()
        {
            if (_root.playerCash > 0)
            {
                stake2 = stake2 + 1
                _root.playerCash = _root.playerCash - 1
            } 
        }
        
        _root.bettingBar.minus2.onPress = function()
        {
            if (stake2 > 0)
            {
                stake2 = stake2 - 1
                _root.playerCash = _root.playerCash + 1
            } else {
                stake2=0
