Hey!

It it possible to set a stage as an instance, just to add onRelease function. Another alternative would be creating an empty movie clip and draw a transparent box with lineTo using Stage height and Stage.width variables.  
But is there a way using a stage (so called background) as and instance?

Thank you in advance
