To be precise, mx:Image can be a mouseTarget as it is a UIComponent wrapping the images.
Embedded images generally are not as are any other bitmaps loaded through flash.display.Loader. It depends on how you set things up. However, placing transparent hit areas is a good way to divide up areas of a renderer into separate targets. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of tsiesser Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2007 9:32 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Context menu mouseTarget vs. itemRenderer with Image control Wow - images are not mouse targets. Okay, that's going to be challenging - because I was actually planning on some special actions to occur when the user clicked on the corners of the image. So maybe the transparent sprite will be the key? I'll try it...
