Question

Is there anyway you can ‘hide’ all the DisplayObjects around the crosshairs on a movie clip?

For example:

If I dragged a that movie clip onto the stage, how could I have only B show? and have A hidden?

EDIT: Basically, the image shows two rectangles in a MC named “First”. If I were to drag this movie clip onto the scene, I only want rectangle B to be shown. When the mouse is hovered over B, an event listener is triggered which slides rectangle A down to ‘overlay’ B. I don’t want A to be shown otherwise.

Thanks.

Sounds like a mask is what you need:
