Hi Nathan, Are you absolutely sure that you want a mouse event from the DOCUMENT and not from some particular widget? Do you really care where the mouse is all of the time, or only when it's over some particular widget? The general mechanism is to call widget.addEventListener(eventType, functionToCall). In your case, eventType is probably "mousemove" or "mousedown" or "mouseup" or "click" or "dblclick" or maybe evben "mouseout" or "contextmenu". You likely want the object on which you addEventListener (widget) to be the widget highest in the hierarchy: the one with the smallest scope that is of interest.
