Thank you. I think you should update
function manageMouseOut(event:MouseEvent):void{
button.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, manageMouseOver);
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, manageMouseOut, false, 0, true);
//your out code here
}

function manageMouseOut(event:MouseEvent):void{
button.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, manageMouseOver);
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, manageMouseOut, false, 0, true);
//your out code here
}

I have been searching on buttons. I am not super proficient in AS3. I have having an issue with buttons. I have a master movie with navigation that loads a series of external swfs. The external swfs have buttons, which navigate their timeline. My issue, the cursor does not change to pointer on rollOver over the buttons in the external swfs are loaded. The pointer changes when these movies are played individually, but not when loaded through the main movie. It seems to be a bug. It does work sometimes, but not always. I have a lot of buttons, would hate to write an rollOver, rollOut for 200 buttons. Any ideas what what may be wrong?

It seems better to use ROLL_OVER, but what makes things difficult (especially for beginners) is that in Flash CS5 Pro the code snippets feature pumps out MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER and in the comments they don’t even tell you you need to be mindful of possibly needing to add in mouseChildren = false; to avoid nested movieclip blinking.

I agree with you post.

However let’s not go crazy with naming conventions. There is a limit on what we should do.
I am very strict on commenting, naming variables and function and all other “best practises”. I agree with 99% of them.
But to actually have to name the event in the listener signature event instead of e it’s totally nuts.
Let’s not assume that everybode else is stupid!!
And it’s not the same like naming variables! A variable has to have a descriptive name as it can be anything (and be anywhere). In a listener’s signature, the first argument is always an event. So what’s the point on naming it event? Waste of 4 characters!!!

thanks

Yes, you’ve eliminated one of the roll over listeners, but you still need a click listener…. after all it is a button…

@Edwinistrator Hi!. I'm trying to use your metod, but I have done a ClickableMovieClip.as and import this to my file. But don't know how to use it. This way?: var botonsector:ClickableMovieClip = new btn();
