Mouse event propagation question

Hi guys,

Let's say i have a following situation:

I have a "large" movie clip and "small" movie inside a "large" movie clip but on it's let's say upper right corner:

Code:

---

largeMc.addChild(smallMc);

---

If i try to catch Mouse.DOWN events on them the following way:

Code:

---

largeMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, largeClicked);
smallMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, smallClicked);

---

Then of course both event are captured no matter where i click.

Is it possible to capture independent mouse clicks on both of these two movie clips and if so, how can i do that?

Thanks in advance,
best regards

You can prevent the event propagation by putting this in the script for your smallMc

smallMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, smallClicked);
function smallClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
{
event.stopPropagation ();

Awesome, thank you very much cancer :)

Cheers
