Text blocking button behind

[petay_pan]

I have a little problem with some text that is on top of a button. I've made a flash component that I have put into Flex, I have they put my text controls on to of the this flash component. The flash component has a hit area that sets off a roll over effect etc, your usual button functionality.

Problem is that he text I have set over the top of the button now seems to block the button below registering a roll over, click etc. All is find when I am outside of the text area though.

Is there a work around that will make the mouse ignore the text? Or i'll just have to embed the text areas into the flash component.

Thanks

Set mouseEnabled = false on the text.
