ah yeh - thanks - i'm still getting used to access-control
just out of interest - the GreetingApp is my class constructor   
method, would you still say that it should not have any functions

is what i've done possible? ie can i set a single mouseListener  
method (m in my example) to be used by any of the sprites to move  
themselves to the front of the display stack or would i have to  
write an explicit statement for each one?


thanks for your time

which works but forcing the object type seems a bit hacky to me and doesn't

I made a minor adjustment because you have to typecast these  to a Sprite:


package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class GreetingApp extends Sprite
{
public function GreetingApp()
{
//var rectAndCircle:Shape = new Shape(); shape
changed to sprite to support mouse event
var rectAndCircle:Sprite = new Sprite();
//adding multiple shapes to a single Shape()
instance is akin to creating a graphic instance
rectAndCircle.graphics.lineStyle(10,0x99,1); //
draw lines around all rectAndCircle objects
rectAndCircle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF,1); // set
colour on object
rectAndCircle.graphics.drawRect(125,0,150,75); //
rectangle
rectAndCircle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF, 0.8); //
change colour on object
rectAndCircle.graphics.drawCircle(150,100,50); //
circle
rectAndCircle.x = 125;
rectAndCircle.y = 100;
//without this, rectAndCircle will not display
addChild(rectAndCircle);
//just for fun

rectAndCircle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,m) as Sprite;

var triangle:Sprite = new Sprite()
triangle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF5500,0.8);
triangle.graphics.moveTo(50,0);
triangle.graphics.lineTo(100,100);
triangle.graphics.lineTo(0,100);
triangle.graphics.lineTo(50,0);
triangle.graphics.endFill();
triangle.x = 175;
triangle.y = 75;
addChildAt(triangle, getChildIndex(rectAndCircle));
// puts triangle BELOW rectAndCircle
triangle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,m)
as Sprite;

function m(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(this);
//setChildIndex(this, numChildren-1);
//doesn't work - 'this' is scoped to the holding object
trace(e);
}

var greeting_txt:TextField = new TextField();
greeting_txt.text = "hello world";
greeting_txt.x = 200;
greeting_txt.y = 300;
addChild(greeting_txt);
}
}

Yes, you can.
But you are referring to THIS and that is the class instance.
So use the .target property of the object send by the mouse event.

is what i've done possible? ie can i set a single mouseListener method (m in
my example) to be used by any of the sprites to move themselves to the front
of the display stack or would i have to write an explicit statement for each
one?
