My guess is that the button has the focus at that particular moment. So maybe you can set button.mouseEnabled = false; And set a listener to enable the button on pe. if mouseX and mouseY is at a specific point.

I have encountered a problem whereby pressing the "SPACE" bar causes a button on my game screen to be clicked. I read up that setting buttonMode to false would fix this but it does not seem to like me using this property on my button. i.e I tried gameMenuBtn.buttonMode = false; but here is the error message: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property buttonMode through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. My button is a custom button I have created and not a button from the components library i.e I just selected a graphic and converted to a symbol and choose "Button". Any ideas how to prevent this button being clicked by the "SPACE" bar being pressed? I could change the key for jumping but feel that the "SPACE" bar is the standard one used for this.
