	/**
	 * The ButtonHelper is a helper class to create interactive buttons from {{#crossLink "MovieClip"}}{{/crossLink}} or
	 * {{#crossLink "Sprite"}}{{/crossLink}} instances. This class will intercept mouse events from an object, and
	 * automatically call {{#crossLink "Sprite/gotoAndStop"}}{{/crossLink}} or {{#crossLink "Sprite/gotoAndPlay"}}{{/crossLink}},
	 * to the respective animation labels, add a pointer cursor, and allows the user to define a hit state frame.
	 *
	 * The ButtonHelper instance does not need to be added to the stage, but a reference should be maintained to prevent
	 * garbage collection.
	 * 
	 * Note that over states will not work unless you call {{#crossLink "Stage/enableMouseOver"}}{{/crossLink}}.
	 *
	 * <h4>Example</h4>
	 *
	 *      var helper = new createjs.ButtonHelper(myInstance, "out", "over", "down", false, myInstance, "hit");
	 *      myInstance.addEventListener("click", handleClick);
	 *      function handleClick(event) {
	 *          // Click Happened.
	 *      }
	 *
	 * @class ButtonHelper
	 * @param {Sprite|MovieClip} target The instance to manage.
	 * @param {String} [outLabel="out"] The label or animation to go to when the user rolls out of the button.
	 * @param {String} [overLabel="over"] The label or animation to go to when the user rolls over the button.
	 * @param {String} [downLabel="down"] The label or animation to go to when the user presses the button.
	 * @param {Boolean} [play=false] If the helper should call "gotoAndPlay" or "gotoAndStop" on the button when changing
	 * states.
	 * @param {DisplayObject} [hitArea] An optional item to use as the hit state for the button. If this is not defined,
	 * then the button's visible states will be used instead. Note that the same instance as the "target" argument can be
	 * used for the hitState.
	 * @param {String} [hitLabel] The label or animation on the hitArea instance that defines the hitArea bounds. If this is
	 * null, then the default state of the hitArea will be used. *
	 * @constructor
