Question

According to this question
Raphael – event when mouse near element

i create a invisible rectangle around another rectangle ,
when the mouse is over that large rect, a circle will appear.
but because the large rect is on top of the small rect,
i can’t process another event when mouse is over the small rect.

(if the small rect is on top , the point will disappear when i reach the small rect)
And i want also to have another event with the circle.

Is there any solution for this?
Hier is the code

Kind of mimicking the events of the larger rectangle with the smaller one:

var paper = new Raphael(0, 0, 500, 500);

createRect(100, 100, 100, 50);

function createRect(x, y, width, height) {
    var boundrect = paper.rect(x - 30, y - 30, width + 60, height + 60).attr({
            "fill": "pink",
            "stroke": "none"
        }).mouseover(function(event) {
            topCtrl.show()
        }).mouseout(function(event) {
            topCtrl.hide()
        })

        ,

        rect = paper.rect(x, y, width, height).attr({
        "fill": "white",
        "stroke": "red"
    }).mouseover(function(event) {
        topCtrl.show();
        topCtrl.attr({
            "fill": "white"
        })
    }),
        topCtrl = paper.circle(x + (width / 2), y, 5).attr({
            "fill": "red"
        });
}
