Hi

Hope you can help…

I have a movieclip that sits underneath a mask.  
I have set up an event listener to listen out for the MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN on the movicelip in question but the handler doesn’t fire whilst the MC is under the mask…

When I remove the mask everything works fine.

So my question is this: Is a MovieClip clickable under a mask? If so - how do you do this?

Thanks 🙂
