onMouseMove is global, meaning anyone who listens for it, gets it whenever
the mouse moves.
_root.onMouseMove, mc.onMouseMove, my_mc.nestedClip.my_mc2.onMouseMove, etc.
The same goes for onMouseDown, and onMouseUp.
onPress, onRelease, and the rest, however, are movieclip specific. So:
mc.onPress will only run for mc, not for _root. Additionally, if a parent
of the mc has onPress on it, children will not get onPress, onRelease, ect.
events.
onMouseMove merely says that the mouse moved, not where. That's when you
check _xmouse and _ymouse of _root, mc, whatever.
onMouseDown/onMouseUp merely says the mouse was clicked, not where. You
have to either check a hitTarget, the _xmouse/_ymouse of the mouse to do a
hitTest, or use a droptarget.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] listening for all button events
i've been using this method to listen for mouse movements and mouse
clicks on the first frame of my .fla:
_root.onMouseMove = function()
{
trace( "mouse moving" );
};
_root.onMouseUp = function()
{
trace( "mouse being clicked" );
};
is that not a good way to do this?
