I meant to say that: it is damned obvious that you should use something
like the code beneath if all I am interested in is the top most child:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function eMH(e:MouseEvent){
trace(e.target.name);
};
mainContainer_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,eMH);
But I am also interested in which children are underneath... how do you
go about doing that in AS3? if I don't get a response I will repost as
a different topic.

if I have a thousand objects in in a container,
and each object is on the layer stack of the display list,
what is the best way to find out which child object is being rendered
as the top most layer at a given x,y position?
I don't want to have a thousand contained objects with a thousand
active listeners, I only want to have 1 listener in the container
monitoring for mouse movement, click, releases, etc... and knowing
which child object the mouse is hovering over/clicking etc...
What is the fastest way to do this?
