Buttons/Images/Importing Images

Question

Any suggestions as to how I can use an image as a button? I have successfully imported my image, got it displaying fine but PL/SQL is unavailable for it. Why can't I do a 'When-Image-Pressed' on an imported image. I also tried using the image item but do not know how to set the source. Don't want to use an iconic button if I can help it.

Here's a bit of code that loads a png with transparency, smooths it, and places it on stage.
var a:Loader = new Loader();
a.load(new URLRequest("spider.png"));
a.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
function done(e:Event){
    var bit:Bitmap = e.target.content;
    if(bit != null){
        bit.smoothing = true;
    addChild(bit);
