Is there a way in AS3 to make a the mouse ignore a certain movieclip? I need it to be on top of the other movieclips (due to transparancy effects), but have it in a way that allows clicking on the movieclips underneath it. I know about “.mouseChildren = false”, but that only makes all the stuff inside that movieclip unclickable, but it still functions as a “barrier” on top of all the others buttons.
Is there a way to do this, or do I need to remove it completely ?
You need to set both
.mouseChildrenand.mouseEnabledto false before you can click on objects behind the MovieClip. This makes the mouse ignore the objects within the MovieClip and the MovieClip itself.Source: http://pixelfumes.blogspot.com/2008/01/clicking-through-movieclips-to.html
