Evening all,
I was wondering if it was possible to detect if the mouse was clicked on a dynamically drawn part of a symbol or the “original” hardcoded part.
I have some items that extend lines to other items and the last in the chain targets the mouse position. I have behaviour that allows start, mid and end chain objects to be dragged around, and also code that generates a new dot when the user clicks the region.
What’s happening is that the mouse is over the line extending from the previous object, and it is being counted as a click on that, not the region.
So I need a way of making the dynamic line to be not-counted-as-the object (which would require a major rewrite i think) or a way of the object knowing if it was that line that was clicked. I seem to have fixed it by adding “true” after the event listener, but then this disables the dragging code altogether 
Is there something obvious I have missed to get around this? I’m only a week into classes and AS3 :S
Thanks in advance 
Edit: forgot to mention, I had thought of using “if distance from 0,0 greater than…” but it seems a little hacky, and if I use different sized items then they will have to know where their usable bounds are… there are lots of solutions I can think of but none seem very optimal or neat.
