Hiding an movie clip from the mouse

I want to know how to hide a movie clip from the mouse.

For example:
I have a bunch of snowflakes floating around christmas tree. When I click the christmas tree, I don’t want to be able to hit any of the snowflakes floating in font of it.

snowflakes.enabled = false; doesn’t work :frowning:

try using hitTest

That might work if I only had one movie clip I had to click on. The problem is that i have multiple clips that could be clicked.

I guess to further explain using my previous example let’s say i have multiple christmas trees and I will need to know what tree I clicked on.
