onMouseDown = function() {}
Notified when the mouse button is pressed. To use the onMouseDown listener, you must create
a listener object. You can then define a function for
onMouseDown and use addListener() to
register the listener with the Mouse object, as shown in the following code:
var someListener:Object = new Object();
someListener.onMouseDown = function () { ... };
Mouse.addListener(someListener);
Listeners enable different pieces of code to cooperate because multiple listeners can receive
notification about a single event.
Note: This event listener is supported in Flash Lite only if
System.capabilities.hasMouse
is
true or System.capabilities.hasStylus is true.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
