That is why I recommend this approach:
class Classes.AnswerBut extends MovieClip{
function AnswerBut(){
trace("AnswerBut created");
addMouseEvents();
}
public function _onPress(){
//actions here
}
public function _onRelease(){
//actions here
}
public function removeMouseEvents(){
onPress = undefined
onRelease = undefined
delete(onPress)
delete(onRelease)
}
public function addMouseEvents(){
onPress = _onPress
onRelease = _onRelease
}
}
Which you can override in your class:
class Classes.NoAnswerBut extends Classes.AnswerBut{
function NoAnswerBut(){
addMouseEvents()
}
public function _onPress(){
//other actions here
}
public function _onRelease(){
// other actions here
}
}
So that way when you removeMouseEvents(), you still keep the actions and can
re-assign them at the onPress/onRelease handlers...
I would also recomend you use the Delegate class for this... to do something
like ...
onRelease = Delegate.create( this, _onRelease )
keeps the calls in scope if you are assigning events to sub movieclip.

Thanks for your responses guys, I have removed onPress/onRelease
events as you suggested

> onRelease = undefined ;
>
> delete(onPress);
> delete(onRelease);
but now my nested mc will not fire any mouse events, I am guessing
that these mouse events have been removed for any nested clips in
that mc too. I've un-nested my movie clip to solve the problem and it
all works fine.
Your help is appreciated :)
