I have solved this problem in the past will a little bit of
ActionScript. You will need to know a little bit about what your
components are named beforehand.
I have not written this up for AS3 yet, but this is how you would do
it in AS2. (I am not sure if '_parent' is still the right param to
the the parent instance name or not ... it might just be 'parent')
You want:
mouseTarger = contianer1.myBox1
But you are getting:
mouseTarget = container1.myBox1.label123.textfield456
if(mouseTarget.indexOf("textfield") != -1){
mouseTarget = mouseTarget._parent._parent;
} else if (mouseTarget.indexOf("label") != -1){
moustTarget = mouseTarget._parent.
}
good luck
