The area drawn inside a UIComponent doesn't have to be rectangular, we
just track everything by its bounding box.
If you drew a circle in there, it would only get mouse events on the
pixels in the circle, anything below would get the events in the
non-drawn area.
However, there is a hitTestPoint method.

Subject: [flexcoders] Hittest for polygon UI Component
I have a series of objects that extend a UI Component and I correctly
draw a list of polypoints in the UIcomponent. I use the UIComponent
for the tooltips, mouse events and some other stuff. My probably is
that ultimately UIComponent is a rectangle. is there a different base
component I should use or is there a way for me to do a hittest on
mouse events to say whether the mouse is in/out of the component?
