function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
event.stopPropagation();ball.x -= vx;
ball.y += vy;
}
Notice the event.stopPropagation method called in the onUpdate function. It is important
to eliminate unnecessary steps, especially if you have a deep displayList.
The event flow sends an event throughout the display list, from the top,
looking for event listeners that may have been defined along the way
and then bubbled back up. StopPropagation() stops the process as soon
as the event finds the target.
