MovieClip.onMouseUp( ) Event Handler

Flash 6

---

handler executed when primary mouse button is released while the clip is on stage

mc.onMouseUp()     onClipEvent (mouseUp) {   statements }

Description

The onMouseUp( ) event handler is the callback form (and more modern analogue) of the legacy onClipEvent (mouseUp) event handler. The onMouseUp( ) event handler is identical to the Mouse.onMouseUp( ) listener event, except that it allows for screen refreshes between frames via updateAfterEvent( ). It executes when mc is on Stage and the primary mouse button is released. The MovieClip.onMouseUp( ) handler would be obsolete in Flash 6 if Mouse.onMouseUp( ) supported updateAfterEvent( ). For complete details, see Mouse.onMouseUp( ).

Example

// Callback form _root.onMouseUp = function () {   trace("The mouse was released"); }     // Flash 5-style onClipEvent() block placed directly on a movie clip instance onClipEvent (mouseUp) {   trace("The mouse was released"); }
