Re: [flexcoders] MouseEvent over chart [1 Attachment]
Alex, I think I have figured out what is causing the mouse disruption. I have a background element where I display the symbol and the symbol description. Whenever I rollover that, it makes the mouse event's position freak out. If I set mouseChildren=false on the background elements, it fixes the problem. If I add mouseChildren=false to the chart, disables my mouse hover events on the annotation which I can't have. In my opinion, this is still a bug. I do not see why elements in the backgroundElements property would have mouse events on them in the first place. Let me know if you want me to file a bug. I have a sample project put together to illustrate this. Also, could you please tell me why I can't add children directly to the CartesianDataCanvas? It seems like that's where drawing should go. Please let me know about filing a bug for the background elements issue I described above. I attached my flex project file to this email in case you are interested in seeing what I'm seeing. The app loads with a chart and one line and a background element. Click anywhere to start drawing, click again to complete the line. Grab one end of the line and mouse down and move it around. When you run over the background element, it goes crazy.

Re: [flexcoders] MouseEvent over chart
Sorry, didn’t notice the StageY was changing as well. Does this happen on other machines, browsers, etc? On 6/28/12 2:21 PM, Jake Churchill reyna...@gmail.com wrote: No, it always stays the same. Here's what I have, a custom annotation called DrawingAnnotation which handles clicking, lines, etc. When a line is added it's drawn on the chart, but all references are stored in the annotation. For some reason I can't draw directly on the annotation. Anyway, the line has mouse events on it as well which allow it to be moved and selected and stuff. When the line receives mouse down, I add an event listener for mouse move to the system manager: systemManager.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler ); which is where I am tracking the positions and stuff. I've added the the listener to the line itselt, the annotation canvas, etc. Always the same result. It always happens if I move the mouse too fast vertically. So, my workaround is to basically check the last mouse event against the current and if the y changes by more than 100 pixes, I count it an outlier and don't count that event. I'm sure there's a better workaround, but I'm not sure since I pretty much have to rely on the position given to me in the mouseEvent.

Re: [flexcoders] MouseEvent over chart
This is an air app, so it's happening in adl. I can remove some checks and compile a final release and test if you want. - Sent from my Google Nexus - On Jun 28, 2012 5:15 PM, Alex Harui aha...@adobe.com wrote: ** Sorry, didn’t notice the StageY was changing as well.
