I’m having trouble refering to the return value of this function. I have done this before but not with a mouseEvent function. Can anyone tell me how to trace blueClick so that I can get the return Value

var theHolder:MovieClip = new the\_Holder();  
var theContent:MovieClip = new the\_Content();

blueBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, blueClick);

function blueClick (event:MouseEvent):Object {  
with(theHolder){  
addChild(theContent)  
}  
return theHolder;  
}

trace(blueClick());
