It works with a button, and the plan would be to set the button to be 
invisible. It's just a container for handlers, and if it's self sufficient code 
it would be a bit like an encapsulated object.

I've always like the physical object way that HyperCard, Director, LC, and even 
Flash can work, but in the world of "real" programming, it's often a 
requirement of the job to do things in an OOP way, regardless of whether there 
is any value in doing that. In the Flash world a lot of people didn't jump on 
ActionScript 3 right away because they were convinced that you could only use 
it as OOP, and going from applying non-OOP scripts onto physical objects, to 
all external OOP code attached to nothing, was too abstract for them to deal 
with. I knew better though, and managed to do some very neat AS3 things just 
using non-OOP timeline code. Later I had to get the hang of the OOP way too, 
when doing a job where the client demanded that the code be done that way.
