I have an image and I need to be able to click on 2 different points within the image and be able to have it tell me how far apart these 2 points are. Any hints?

ActionScript

Here is a basic idea:

var prevClick:Point;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void 
{
     var currentClick:Point = new Point(mouseX, mouseY);
     if (!prevClick) prevClick = currentClick;
     else {
          trace("distance = ", Point.distance(prevClick, currentClick));
          prevClick = currentClick;
     }
}
