Is it possible to define only certain areas of the stage as the actual stage? As to say if I have the following code:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, burnIt);  
function burnIt(event:MouseEvent):void {  
timer.start();  
timer2.start();  
}

Is it possible to define only a section of the stage as clickable? Maybe within a mask? Also from the code above, how do a stop the timer with another click?

Thanks
