Found out that if creating canvas, if you make a movieclip 0% alpha, the click function won't work.

I made a movieclip button and set the alpha to 0% so that the physical button mc would be there but upon click, it doesn't do anything. I raise the alpha to higher than 0 and bam! We're clicking again.. I guess I have to use a visible graphic!

you can use 1% (or alpha = .01) and it will be clickable and not visible (to my eyes).  canvas has been that way forever.
