Hi Kerry,
I understand you got an error not typing your variable in 'var clip =
e.target;'
I tried 'var type = "myType";', which gave no error.
Appearantly in some cases you _need_ to type a variable, in other
cases you don't (!?)
In my case Flash automatically assigns String as the data type to
'type'. (maybe only for primitive data types?)
Because in your case somehow you need to type the var, but don't know
yet the actual type the * comes in handy.

It's a wildcard I think. clip can be of any type.
That's what I suspected. What is the advantage, then, of using the
wildcard,
rather than an untyped variable?
I don't mean to sound argumentative--I'm just trying to understand
one of
ActionScript's nooks and crannies.
Cordially,
