When I have a Label on a Sprite for example, it doesn’t respond to MouseEvents, or at least not correctly. For example, if I set buttonMode = true on the Sprite, the label won’t have the clicking cursor. Is there a work around for this? Other than stacking another Sprite on top of it which seems very inefficient.
