Drag enter event problem

programming flash

Hi forum,

I think this might be a problem with the way events bubble or something but i’m not sure.

i have a canvas which has a drag enter and drag drop event attached to it. On drop it creates a Box inside it, which i create in AS3 as so:

var newField:Box = new Box;
          
newField.width = 500;
newField.height = 50;

newField.addEventListener(DragEvent.DRAG_ENTER, dragEnter);

As shown i add a drag enter on this new box. Problem is when i go to drag another proxy over the canvas and over this new created box it just continously fires the drag enter event that i attached to the “newField”. It doesn’t just fire it once when my mouse enters the newly created Box as i would expect.

Is this a problem with the drag enter event on the parent conflicting with the drag enter event on its child?

Thanks for any help

Tom
