Mouse Out on TextField

[jgallen23]

I have a class that extends sprite. I'm add events like this:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, Maximize);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, Minimize);

I also have a text field that I am adding using addChild(_txtField). Everything works great, except the mouse_out fires when I hover over the _txtfield text. Is there any way for it to not fire over text?

try:


this.mouseChildren = false;

awesome! thanks for the quick reply

[jgallen23]

is there any way to ignore some children and not other? Basically I have a bubble that grows when the mouse is over and then on top of the bubble, I have a couple of buttons that I need to be able to be clicked. Any idea on how to do this would be great

I think there is a mouseEnabled property as well.
