[flexcoders] Re: Automation libraries kill my app

[Geoffrey]

I added a mouseevent handlers to teh stage and this is what I see when
I click on a textarea:

The MouseEvent's currentTarget is the application root.  The target is
a VBox.  I'm not really sure where this VBox is comming from.  Is it
something automation adds in there?  The TextArea is inside a
FormItem, Form, CustomCanvas, CustomPanel, Canvas, Canvas, Application.

Thanks,
 Geoff
