Hi Aaron,

To use listener within a class is the same as procedural functions. Here I will write a basic example

package
{
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
 
    public class ExampleListener extends Sprite
    {
        private var _clip:Sprite;
 
        public function ExampleListener()
        {
            super();
            createClip();
            _clip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clipClicked);
        }
        private function clipClicked(event:MouseEvent)
        {
            trace("Clip Clicked");
        }
        private function createClip()
        {
            //create some draw in the clip and add it to the stage
        }
    }
}

I hope this answer your question

Will you show an example where the listener calls a method within a class, instead of just a procedural function?

vlost: You are missing the events package.

import flash.events.*

Actually, import flash.events.MouseEvent is enough

Happy new year!!

I get a:

1120: Access of undefined property MouseEvent.

Am I not including some thing?

package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;

public class HelloDan extends MovieClip {
