Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone else has come across this problem. I have a panel as a sprite containing a gallery of images (only 8 images at the moment!). Each image has mouse rollOver and mouse click event listeners, which work fine initially. Problem is, when I hide the panel using visible = false, then show it again, the mouseEvents aren’t firing on the gallery iimages.

Strangely, the same thing happens if instead of using visible true/false, I move the panel off stage and then back on again.
