use Delegate.create in your class so it has proper scope - the
onRelease anonymous function won't work because it loses scope when
defined within the class.
If you need to pass a param, do something like this in your class:
private function defineActions()
{
var myDelegate:Object = myButton.onRelease = Delegate.create(this,
doSomething)
myDelegate.answer = "Tomatoes"
}
private function doSomething()
{
trace(arguments.caller.answer)
}
