mouse events and layers (z-indeces)

[edtsch]

I have two separate Flash movies that overlap each other on an HTML page. The top one covers the bottom one in transparent windowless mode.

Problem is, even though I can see the buttons or radio controls on the lower SWF, I can't click them because the upper movie is capturing the mouse events.

Anyone got any advice for me?

Hmmm, looks like a false alarm. The reason the lower movie couldn't receive the mouse events turns out to have been due to invisible "hit areas" that I had put in place in the upper movie to make sure that RollOut events were captured by the upper movie.

I think I can reconfigure the upper movie using hitTest to get the right result without having to cover the lower movie. Thanks for viewing this anyway to try to help!
