Is the dictionary wrong?

[notletrest]

When you look up "click" in the "Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English", you can read:" v.i. to be a success: That film 's really clicked (with young people.)" My trouble is now that it is an intransitive verb,why the editor gives that example with a past participle as its predicative.
By the way I came up with a sentence like this: Things were clicking for me then. Is the word "for" correct here?
Thanks for your help!

Notletrest,


(1) The teacher has given you the answer.

(2) I believe that the matter of transitive and intransive has

nothing to do with the past participle. I believe that many

intransitive verbs use the past participle:

He has arrived.

She has worked.

The birds have flown.

(3) Yes, I believe that it's "good" English to say something like:

Things were really clicking for him back in those days.

(That is, things were going very well for him.)

P.S. "What he said didn't click with me" means, I believe, that

I didn't understand what he said.
