I have this MouseEvent function that I have totally no idea why it fired twice. Is there a way I can disable the function in a period of time? I tried disabling the button, but seems like it directly called the function and does not trigger from the button.
Addition info:When I add in more object to the array, the function fired more time

I strongly, strongly recommend against doing some sort of flag or timer hack to get around an unexplained behavior – that leads to code bloat and down the line it’ll cause you more problems in the long run.
It’s much, much, much better to understand why it’s calling your function twice. Invest the time in figuring that out (do you have listeners set on multiple display objects? Is this some sort of bubbling issue? Could it be your mouse? Try a clean flash project with just a handler and see if that calls twice, etc), and not only will your code be better and faster but you’ll also learn a lot in the process.
