Hi guys,

I made one Sprite that’s the size of the stage, and another smaller child of that one:

screen:Sprite = size of stage  
table:Sprite = smaller one

screen.addChild(table);

…everything is fine but when do this in the table class:

screen.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OUT,mouseOut);

…it gets triggered when the mouse moves outside the table, not when it moves outside the screen. I don’t understand that.

Thanks.
