The other thing you can do is this (in your OverlayBase derived
class):
protected function initEvents():void
{
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, doMouseDown);
}
protected function doMouseDown(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
evt.stopImmediatePropagation();
// add your code here..
}
This will stop the Map itself from receiving the event, and it has no
side effect.
