This is a known problem with the v2 components FocusManager class 'stealing focus'. There's an easy fix:
function onMouseDown() { this.focusManager.enabled = false; } function onMouseUp() { this.focusManager.enabled = true; } Note that 'focusManager' is a (hidden/invisible/unremovable) movieclip instance in the main timeline created as soon as you use a v2 component. regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Sacks | BLITZ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 3:47 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks Hey everyone, There's an old problem with Flash that pops up every so often and I've never been able to determine what causes it or how to solve it. Sometimes certain clips/buttons stop receiving clicks unless you move the mouse between clicks. Does anyone know how or why this happens and how to get around it (hopefully not involving hitTest)?
