Question

I have made a hierarchy in which there is a main page, using add element i have attached a component mxml of type group. There is a single button on main page when clicked it should add children of type group in that group type mxml component along with two buttons. Now using one of buttons i am attaching another component mxml type group. the problem is even they overlap i can still excess the children groups of first group component mxml. how can i stop this mouse events to happen.

Answer 1

I think those kind of events usually bubble up to parent components.
You can try using the following code in your mouse click event listener to stop further propagation:

private function onMouseClicked(event: MouseEvent): void {
    event.stopPropagation();
    ... do whatever you wanted when smth was clicked ...
}
