Question

I have a flash shooter game and after a user shoots a bottle, i play the destroy animation and remove it from the screen. The problem is when the user click too fast, like superman fast it enters on the method twice, no matter what. Does anyone knows how to solve this?

Here is the code:

public function bottleHasClicked(bottle : BottleBase) : void {
        bottle.mouseEnabled = false;
        collectedBottles++;
        bottlesInRound--;

        gameSound.getShootSound().playSound();
        gameSound.getBottleSound().playSound();


        ArrayUtil.removeValueFromArray(elementsInScreenArray, bottle);
        cleanElementsTimer[bottle].stop();
        delete cleanElementsTimer[bottle];

        if (bottlesInRound == 0) {  
            stopElementsTimer();
            showElementsWaitForSeconds(0.5);
        }

        createBulletHole();
        bottle.play();
    }

The first thing i do is to disable the object mouse, and it still happens. I only enable it when im gonna show the bottles again.

See this post:

If you only have a single element that needs to have the mouse
disabled, use the mouseEnabled property. If however you have child
elements on a particular object that you want to cascade the disabling
of the mouse events to, make sure to set the mouseChildren property as
well. This second one has caught me before when I was still getting a
response to mouse events even though I though I had disabled them.
