mmm...disagree. One object could easily define all the hot spots and
handle mouse tracking without the need for transparent sprites in the
score. With imaging lingo the rects of the hotspots could be drawn
for debugging purposes if need be with 1 line of code. I guess it
depends on how many hot spots he needs to define and how structured
he wants to get.
