I've got a custom component based on Canvas, and I'm programmatically
setting its background-image style to a loaded SWF. I need to be able to
differentiate between a click on the background, and a click on any of the
other children. WIth no background set, I was using this code:
private function clickHandler (evt:MouseEvent):void
{
if (evt.target == this)
{
setFocus();
dispatchEvent(new CanvasEvent(CanvasEvent.CLEAR_FOCUS));
}
}
WIth a background-image, however, this no longer works. I've also tried
listening for the target phase, but the event never actually reaches the
canvas object. I do have a separate ICollectionView instance containing all
the other children, but I'd like to avoid having to use that for this
handler, if possible.
