Hi Everybody, Thanks for your help. However, before I raise the white flag I jsut want to make I am not missing anything...
Excempt from the documentation for the UIObject mouseDown event: "...The event will only be broadcast by the component if the mouse is not also over a child of the component that has a mouseDown listener, or the component is not obscured by another component with a mouseDown listener..." They way I interpret that is that it should not propagate if there is a handler registered? Please let me know if I am minunderstanding anyting ?
