Stage MouseUp

This is the listener (AS3) I am trying to call from inside a package that is throwing a null object error:

stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,video02_scrubBar_hitarea_onRelease);

What is wrong?

Check the name of the function ‘video02_scrubBar_hitarea_onRelease’, it must be it.

If I remove the word ‘stage.’ it works. Why?

If I remove the word ‘stage.’ it works. Why?

This shows that “stage” is not considered as a target name for root.

If I remove the word ‘stage.’ it works. Why?

Oops, it works even if I use “stage”. It seems we need to mouseUp over an object on stage to trigger the function. If there is no object in the stage to hit, it doesn’t calls the function.

the stage is only avaible on the root, you can send it from there though

 this.stage.addEventListener(...)
 .. or...
 some_clip.stage.addEventListener(...

Still no luck. Remember that it’s in a package.
