@Johan: Nice! I’ve actually never thought of the fact that you can generalize it by writing private function onClick(e:Event):void. Guess I’ve never needed you generalize a function like this before but it sure makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, It is a great technique and if you want to call the function with other events you can generalize a bit and do it like this.
private function onClick(e:Event):void

Or if you want to call it from anywhere in the code you can give the incoming event a default value like this.
private function onClick(e:Event = null):void
