Good suggestion Jason, but the issue is that when he rolls over a shape, its going to broadcast mouse out for the container. The custom event idea would still work if the custom shape events conditionally broadcast a container_mouse_out event based on a hit test.
If I understand bubbling correctly, you could also do a hit test during the capture phase of containers Mouse_Out and cancel it.
