that's just about exactly what I ended up with .. thanks!
-(UIView*)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UIView *retval = nil;
// traverse the subviews in backwards order until one returns something
for( UIView *subview in [ [ self subviews ] reverseObjectEnumerator ] )
if( ( retval = [ subview hitTest:[ subview convertPoint:point
fromView:self ] withEvent:event ] ) )
break;
return retval;
}
