child label and MouseEvents

[AlexWD]

When I have a Label on a Sprite for example, it doesn't respond to MouseEvents, or at least not correctly. For example, if I set buttonMode = true on the Sprite, the label won't have the clicking cursor. Is there a work around for this? Other than stacking another Sprite on top of it which seems very inefficient.

If you want to hide the "text" cursor when the mouse is over a text field, use

textFieldName.selectable = false

That's not the problem. If have a Label on a Sprite and the Mouse in on the Label the MouseEvent isn't passed to the Sprite.

Try setting

labelName.mouseEnabled = false
labelName.mouseChildren = false
This should make the label unable to receive any mouse event, and thus trigger the listeners from the object behind it.
