The white is probably not the color of the button skin, but the color of the parent container showing through. The skin has probably not painted those pixels any color at all, so they're not generating mouseover events for the skin/button. I've solved this problem before by making sure all of the pixels on the skin were painted with some value, even if I wanted them fully transparent. The ones that I wanted to be transparent, I just painted with an alpha value of 0. This all occurs in the updateDisplayList() method of the skin.

The skin contains a white area and it seems that it doesn't recognize that area when I roll over with my mouse. The Skin always jumps back to the normal state (instead of keeping the over skin). Can I tell Flex that it should just use the skins shape for the hitTest and ignore colors?! Cheers, Max
