Thanks for the reply. I believe I found the answer, albeit not a solution, here (http://seeing-is-believing.blogspot.com/2007/11/flex-components-in-flash-example-with.html). Per the comments section:
"Apparently Flex creates an invisible layer that covers the whole stage (mx.managers.SystemManager), which catches all events such as mouse clicks that are not caught by any other Flex components. This only happens on the root Flex swf that's loaded, and any other swf's that are loaded on top of it recognize the first Flex application as their root, and won't create a new SystemManager layer." --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The width of an mc includes any offscreen things and areas outside of > masks.
