RE: [flexcomponents] Re: Canvas based component blocking evnts on underlying chart.

I think you have two basic choices:   1)       re-dispatch all mouse events.  You’ll have to listen to mouseUp/Down/Over/Out, translate them into chart pieces and probably simulate rollover/rollout, which will not be a pleasant thing to do. 2)       Make everything in your component mouseEnabled=false so the mouse events go straight to the chart and rely on bubbling to let you know what is happening underneath you.   I would explore (2) first.   -Alex   From: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of zenwarden Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 8:13 AM To: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcomponents] Re: Canvas based component blocking evnts on underlying chart.   I forgot to mention that I also have a mouseDown event for the custom component, and register a moseMove event listener for the component on initialize. --- In flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com, "zenwarden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, I am asking the chart to see the mouse when buried under a > mousable area.
