Hello Everyone

I have a game where the user will click on an area of a table where they want to place objects. They then choose an object to place in that location… pretty straight forward.

My problem is when the user chooses a location on the table with a mouse click, and they happen to click on an object that has been moved to that area, the table does not get the mouseEvent.

Is there a way to get the event for the table, even though there is an object sitting on top?

Thanks
