It’s a part of Adobe’s help

> When nested nodes are involved, mouse events target the deepest possible nested node that is visible in the display list. This node is called the _target node_. To have a target node’s ancestor receive notification of a mouse event, use EventDispatcher.addEventListener() on the ancestor node with the type parameter set to the specific mouse event you want to detect.  
> I there a way to catch an event on sibling, not ancestor?  
> (the situation when one DisplayObject covers another and both are on same DisplayList)  
> Or sth else:  
> Block a single event MouseEvent.CLICK or all except one

```auto
mouseEnabled=false;
allowedEvent=MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE; //functional example 

```
