your solution is perfect!! I’ve adapted it, so that no related object will fire the mouse event:

var isValidRollOut:Boolean=false;
try {
isValidRollOut = (e.relatedObject.name == “any_object”) ? false : false;
} catch (e:Error) {
isValidRollOut=true;
}
if (isValidRollOut) {
do something
}

If you don’t want the green rectangle to fire a MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT event when the mouse is over the green rectangle and you roll over the blue oval, you could use this event handler for the green rectangle’s MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT:

function onRollOutGreenRectangle(mouseEvent:MouseEvent):void
{
trace (mouseEvent.target.name) //– Returns instance name of green rectangle
trace (mouseEvent.relatedObject.name) //– Returns instance name of blue oval

// Let’s say the blue Oval instance name is “myBlueOvalInstanceName”

var isValidRollOut:Boolean = (mouseEvent.relatedObject.name == “myBlueOvalInstanceName”) ? false : true;

if(isValidRollOut)
{
trace (“mouse rolled out of green rectangle, but not because of a roll over on blue oval”)
}
}

This is just an example to show you the difference between MouseEvent.relatedObject et MouseEvent.target. I hope it helps someone…

I think you are referring to event.target?

function someMouseEventHandler(event:Event)
{
trace(event.target);
}

Hope that helps someone…

For example, if you want to have both shapes interactive and prevent green rectange’s MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT from being triggered when you roll over the ‘overlaying’ part of the blue oval, you can use:

MouseEvent.relatedObject

in green rectangle’s MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT associated function, using the mouseEvent parameter of that function.

This is my first ever post on AS and I speak French, so sorry if i’m not clear …

Thanks

maar ik heb zelfde probleem alleen heb alle bij de clips nodig voor mouseEnable…….

ik heb dit

container met daarin movies
——————————–

als ik alleen de container wil triggeen dan wordt deze ook actief zodra je over de movies inside de container gaat maar dat wil ik niet!

Many thanks!

I hope this helps others as well…

In your code: just
this.clip2.mouseEnabled = false;
instead of
this.clip2.enabled = false;

Hope it could be helpful
