Question

I have a banner with big invisible button covering the stage and underneath it I have movieclips which must respond to mouse events. But I can’t get through invisible button. I only get button events and cant interact with movieclips underneath it. Here’s simple code:

invisibleBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTopClick);
bottomMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onBottomOver);

function onTopClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
    trace("top - click");
}

function onBottomOver(e:MouseEvent):void{
    trace("bottom - over");
}

I never get bottomMc MouseEvent… any thoughts?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Only thing that you can done with this is to make invisibleBtn disable and put click event on movieclip instead of button.

so, it should like this.

invisibleBtn.mouseEnable=false;
invisibleBtn.mouseChildren =false;

bottomMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTopClick);
bottomMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onBottomOver);

function onTopClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
    trace("top - click");
}

function onBottomOver(e:MouseEvent):void{
    trace("bottom - over");
}

so, it will take event for movieclip
