onMouseUp is a global function
If you have the following:
class MyButton extends MovieClip {
function onMouseUp() {
trace("onMouseUp");
}
}
And put 100 instances on stage.
Each time you click and release *anywhere* in you application, you'll get 100
traces.
If you want to use mouse events and detect when a certain instance has been
clicked upon, use hitTest
class MyButton extends MovieClip {
function onMouseUp() {
trace("onMouseUp");
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
trace(this+" says: ouch, you've hit me!");
}
}
}
You'll only see the second trace if the mouse is over one of the instances, and
for that instance only.

Subject: [Flashcoders] onMouseup bug?
> Hi all!
>
> I've stumbled upon something quite weird, and have searched for an
> explanation without any success.
> Consider the following Movieclip hiearchy:
> Contentclip (with a few images and text fields dynamically attached) -
> > buttonclip
>
> I have created a class which when instanced will:
> - attach a new instance of contentclip to level0
> - attach onRollOver,onRollOut,onMouseUp functions to the child buttonclip
>
> When the movie runs, a rollover/rollout of one of the buttonclips will alert
> ONLY the object (class instance) that created it.
> However, when clicking on one of the buttonclips and capturing the event
> with onMouseUp, ALL the objects linked to contentclips
> will be called. Ie, if I have a function that create 4 objects that in turn
> each create one contentclip, one click on one button
> will result in 4 separate calls to each one of the 4 instance objects.

> Now for the weird part which makes me strongly suspect it's a bug rather

> If I swap the onMouseUp event for an onPress event, the problem goes away. I
