Question

I have a Movieclip (instance: my_mc) that holds Sprite, Bitmap, Texfield and Button (children)

The Movieclip (my_mc) has some variables I want to access from my event through e.target

my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, my_fc);
function my_fc(e:MouseEvent):void{
    ...
}

so when someone clicks on a object that is a child of my_mc, only my_mc actually receives the CLICK

for this purpose I used my_mc.mouseChildren = false;

BUT I also need to have button still active so that would be only child that also receives the CLICK when someone clicks it. I have tried to add button.mouseEnabled = true; but that doesn’t work…

Any suggestions?

This is assuming that your button is called btn, if there are more you might need to assign the 2ndary listener dynamically. You cannot use my_mc.mouseChildren = false; because that removes all mouse events.

my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, my_fc);
function my_fc(e:MouseEvent):void{
    doSomething(e.target as MovieClip)
}
my_mc.btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, my_fc2);
function my_fc2(e:MouseEvent):void{
    e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    doSomething(e.target.parent);
}
function doSomething(mc:MovieClip):void{
    trace(mc);
}
