Mouseover events pass through my MIAW to the stage below, what can I do?

It is true that the mouseover event leaks through any MIAW to MIAWs and the stage below. This can cause very user-unfriendly situations like sounds appearing for no clear reason (mouseover on a button hidden behind the MIAW). I have written a script that can be used to verify that a mouseOver detected on a sprite is not hidden behind a MIAW. To use the script simply check MIAWEventLeak() - if it is TRUE a MIAW is between the mouse and the sprite and no actions should be performed. on MIAWEventLeak vMouse = the mouseLoc vMouse = point((getAt(vMouse,1) + getAt((the stage).rect, 1)), (getAt(vMouse,2) + getAt((the stage).rect, 2))) if count(the windowList) > 0 then repeat with vWindow in (the windowList) if vWindow.visible = TRUE then if inside(vMouse, (vWindow).rect) then return TRUE end if end if end repeat end if return FALSE end
