Forums → Programming Forum → Mouse Event Issue

This is the code for a function that generates people and adds them to the stage then animates, when you click on them they're supposed to go to a different frame. They did that at first, but as i added in the timers at the bottom to generate them continuously something made it the mouseEvent stop working. I'm sure there's a better way to do the timers though, but that works for my needs.

Anyway, would someone be able to tell me what's cancelling out the click function?

var peopleLagTime1:int = 6000;
var peopleLagTime2:int = 15000;

function generate() {
var classArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i=1; i<=1; i++) {
var _Class:Object = getDefinitionByName(&quoteopleMC&quot as Class;
var a:MovieClip = new _Class();
a.name = "a"+i;
classArray.push(_Class);
var randomInt = Math.floor(Math.random()*(501))+250;
var peopleTweenX = new Tween(a, "x", None.easeNone, 400, randomInt, 15, true);
var peopleTweenY = new Tween(a, "y", None.easeNone, 222.2, 1250, 15, true);
var peopleTweenW = new Tween(a, "width", None.easeNone, 2.18, 140.85, 15, true);
var peopleTweenH = new Tween(a, "height", None.easeNone, 9.03, 582.75, 15, true);
var frameInt = Math.floor(Math.random()*(2))+2;
stage.addChildAt(a, stripeIndex+1);
a.gotoAndStop(frameInt);
a.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, peopleDance);
function peopleDance(e:MouseEvent):void {
a.gotoAndStop(frameInt+2);
}
}
}
var n = 0;
n++;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(3000, 1000);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,spawn1);
function spawn1(event:TimerEvent) {
generate();
n++
}
myTimer.start();

var myTimer3:Timer = new Timer(15000, 1);
myTimer3.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,spawn2);
function spawn2(event:TimerEvent) {
var myTimer4:Timer = new Timer(2500, 1000);
myTimer4.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,spawn3);

n++;

myTimer4.start();
}
myTimer3.start();

var myTimer5:Timer = new Timer(30000, 1);

function spawn4(event:TimerEvent) {
var myTimer6:Timer = new Timer(1500, 1000);
myTimer6.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, spawn5);

var person = "a"+n;

var myTimer2:Timer = new Timer(peopleLagTime2, 1000);

function removeA(event:TimerEvent) {

}
