DisplayObjects in which you don't draw anything don't dispatch mouse events. (You can draw transparent pixels, though.) - Gordon

Without it you will get rollOuts and rollOvers between the children in your formItem. If anyone knows a better way around this, let me know. Otherwise, it works. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "iko_knyphausen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I should have asked 5 hours ago ! ;-) > > Thanks Gordon > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Gordon Smith" <gosmith@> wrote: > > > > Use rollOver and rollOut instead of mouseOver and mouseOut. > > > > - Gordon > > > > ________________________________ > > > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] > On > > Behalf Of iko_knyphausen > > Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 10:32 PM > > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > > Subject: [flexcoders] How to prevent children from causing a mouseOut > > event > > > > > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I am struggling with mouse events in a canvas.
