key.isDown for mouse key

[surf2003]

Helllo!

Is there a way to determine if the left mouse key is pressed? I have an onClipEvent (mouseDown)in which I drag an object and a onClipEvent (enterFrame) in which I resize the same object. But the resizing should only happen if the mouse key is down. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

something like this

myclip.onMouseDown = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true))
resize = true;
}
myclip.onMouseUp = function(){
resize = false;
}
myclip.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(resize) this._xscale+=10
}

stop()
