Just one thing; if you do ev.target could that potentially give you a reference to a child that caught the event instead of the thing that you attached the listener to? For example if I have movieclip1 and movieclip2 where movieclip2 is a child of movieclip1 - sometimes it will return movieclip2 as ev.target. Since I found out this was happening to me - I have been using ev.currentTarget. Thanks for the great article! Awesome!
