capture a click without use of a button

[root66]

Is there any way that I can capture the root _x and _y coordinates of the mouse anytime I click, no matter what I click as long as it is inside the flash movie? thanks in advance.

The onClipEvent(mouseDown) will register that the mouse button was pressed even if it's outside the movieclip.

you could do something like this:

_root.onMouseDown = function()
{
    trace("X:" + _xmouse + " Y:" + _ymouse)
}

It'll trace out the mouse position everytime the left mousebutton is pressed.

click = new Object();
click.onMouseDown = function() {
	trace("Mouse X: " + _xmouse);
	trace("Mouse Y: " + _ymouse);
};
Mouse.addListener(click);

Both worked, I am assuming the second is somehow superior thanks both of you.
