good idea pamela, something we may fall back to if matt's dosnt work out in the long run.
Ive tested matt's idea, and the MAP_MOUSE_ROLLOUT / IN events do not fire, but the standard MOUSE ROLL events seem to fire ok, so i can use this, like mat said, to remove the map listener when the mouse is over the overlay. and put it back after. thanks for your help! -David.
