How can I make a mouse event ignore, or skip over another object? Say I have a small Sprite on a Large sprite, I want it to act as if the small sprite isn’t there, and pass the mouse events directly through to the larger sprite behind it. I’ve been searching for this for a while and have tried various things but no avail. Anyone have any ideas?
