Well I think I've found the answer. In the docs here:
http://away3d.com/livedocs/3.5.0_lib/away3d/sprites/MovieClipSprite.html
it gives the inheritance as
MovieClipSprite -> Object3D -> flash.events.EventDispatcher
which would give it all the addListener functions you could shake a
stick at. But if you look at the source code, the actual inheritance
is now
MovieClipSprite -> Sprite3D -> Element
which is a different matter altogether. Quick update of the docs
would be handy when you get a moment.
Cheers!
