Disable/Block a Touch or a Click?

Ninjadoodle

Hi Guys

I do a lot of work with Flash and when you put a movie clip on top of another movie clip, the movie clip on the bottom will not respond to touches, unless you set the movie clip on top to -> mouseEnabled = false.

Is there a way that I can block a movieclips touch/click response in Gideros by putting another image/movieclip on top?

For example … A plane is flying and you can shoot it down by touching it, but only if it doesn't fly behind a building.

Thank you for any help

Ok I've just been doing some searching and found out about …

event:stopPropagation()

1. Is there a way I can set an objects property to do this or do I always have to attach an event listener that will stopPropagation?

2. Is there any way to treat an images Alpha channel as invisible? As it is a mostly transparent image sitting on top of other movie clips stops propagation even through see through areas.

Thank you for your help!

i usually put big rectangle shape and set its alpha to 0.01 and use stoppropagation on each mouse and touch event

Ok, cool … thank you for your answer

I take it there is no way to only disable propagation on non transparent areas of an image?
