Well im creating a btn using the = new Textfield(); method and then adding a listener:

playBtn.addListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN,Play)  
the only thing is when I create the textfield it uses the text cursor when I hover over it so I used:

playBtn.mouseEnabled = false  
the only thing is this negates the MouseEvent.MouseDown listener is there anyway to fix this?
