Found the answer. delete this.onPress;
Not sure why setting it to null or undefined didn't work though?!

I have an MC(btn), with a nested MC(innerBtn). On pressing btn, I want to remove it's onPress so I can get at the inner button's onPress. Is this possible? I tried onRelease instead but then yields the same results. btn.onPress = function() { // Remove this onPress so we can get at the inner buttons onPress this.onRelease = null; }; button.innerBtn.onPress = function() { trace(this); }; The onPress is removed in that it doesn't fire after the first press, but the finger pointer doesn't disappear when I hover anywhere over btn. Any ideas. I thought I had events sussed!
