Maybe you shouldn't register the canvas. Put another child in the canvas with alpha=0 that goes behind all the other children and register that.

The problem I'm having is that when I have another container inside the canvas, it doesn't register the dragEnter event, even though I have added an event listener for that event to the component. Instead, only it's parent dispatches the dragEnter event. How can I get the child components to register when the user drags over them, versus the parent canvas?
