You need to define handlers for those components in the HBox if you want
them to listen for those specific mouse events. Right now the button in
the HBox is only listening for click events. Try writing handler
functions for those additional events to start debugging:
<mx:Button id="backButton" click="onClick(event)"
mouseOver="onMouseOver(event)" mouseOut="onMouseOut(event)" width="24"
height="20"/>
...
private function onMouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("mouseOver");
}
private function
onMouseOut(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("mouseOut");
}

Subject: [flexcoders] MouseOver Event Not Firing
I have a Button that doesn't seem to know the mouse is over it. It
doesn't dispatch MouseOver/Out/click events.
I have a Panel that has an HBox(Label/Spacer/Button) and a Canvas.
the Canvas gets stuff added to it dynamically via Actionscript.
<pre>
<mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="100%"
height="100%">
<mx:HBox id="titleBox" verticalAlign="middle" width="100%"
height="24">
<mx:Label text="Your Tasks"/>
<mx:Spacer width="100%"/>
<mx:Button id="backButton" click="onClick(event)" width="24"
height="20"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:Canvas id="dynamicContainer" width="100%" height="100%"/>
</mx:Panel>
</pre>
This component is displayed after a transition effect that 'swishes'
it in from the right. I've done some debugging and it seems that
everything is getting mouseOver events except everything within the
HBox.
Any ideas? Because I have run out of ideas.
Thanks,
Geoff
