I have a Sprite with a collection of bitmaps wich i addChild and removeChild according to the script. However, i need it to not interfer with the buttons with MOUSE\_OVER Sprites below.

There is a property in the DisplayObjectContainer wich is .mouseChildren, however, i want the container itself to be false, not the children (wich is only Bitmap’s anyway)

So basicly, what im looking for is either kind of a _mouse **Child** [index/name]_= false; or an _Sprite.mouse = false;_ thingy.
