addEventListener is not working

Report · May 14, 2015

i have a very simple code. a movieClip on stage with the instance name btn.

i added an eventListener:

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,someFunction);

function someFunction(e:MouseEvent):void{

trace("yes");

}

i just cant see anything wrong with this code, so i tried to make all kind of tests nothing worked. i even made a new symbol and took the instance name of a button that is working and i simply put it on the new symbol and it doesnt work!

is this a bug?!!!!!

probably not but i cant add any buttons....
