Hello again!

Im trying to use multiple objects in the scene that use the same mouse over event, as the objects are created at runtime so as i cant guarentee how many will exist, its easier and more logical to have 1 event they all call…

Anyway i _thought_ there would be a way to work out whos calling the event, box1,box2 etc… but it doesnt seem to work, i tried event.relatedObject however this comes back as null. So is there some special way to do this, as the adobe documentation doesnt seem to cover this, or do i have to manually to a hit test or something on the event X/Y and the scene box X/Y…
