I have a class that extends sprite. I’m add events like this:  
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER, Maximize);  
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OUT, Minimize);

I also have a text field that I am adding using addChild(\_txtField). Everything works great, except the mouse\_out fires when I hover over the \_txtfield text. Is there any way for it to not fire over text?
