Flash ... it has quirks.

Learned something new about flash today. I’ve been reading about quasimodes, and the project i’m working on right now is a prefect candidate for using this style of interaction. It involves holding down a key while click-dragging (so you can only drag while holding the key down). What came as a surprize to me, is that when you have a key held down, and the mouse button down, each MovieClip you rollover will register an onPress event. I certainly think this is a bug, as i’ve not pressed down on any of the other clips.

After trying a few crazy workarounds, i’ve got it licked. Yet another example of Flash’s … unique quirks.
