I consider to be an extremely useful and important event. Although it can be emulated faithfully with the provided mouse events and a complicated bunch of calls to add/removeEventListener, it’s something you have to implement again and again. Because I was too lazy, I’ve been grumbling, sighing, and copy-pasting code without much more thought.

But as it turns out, I don’t have to anymore because Tyler of xtyler.com has released a super-groovy as3 library for making any InteractiveObject behave as a button.

Siic! [sic]

Needless, they were excited about the possibilities.
