Description
Event; broadcast when the mouse button is pressed over an object (for example, a shape or a
movie clip) directly owned by the screen.
When the event is triggered, it automatically passes an event object (

Each event object has properties that contain information about the event. You can use these
properties to write code that handles the event. For more information, see “EventDispatcher
class” on page 415.
