I’m probably asking the impossible; asking someone to explain the solution to a problem I can’t really explain. However, I have two identical instances of the same movieclip (except for text within a text field in the clips). I add a mouse event listener to both clips. The clip on the left has a clickable area, but it is much smaller than the visible area of the clip on the screen. The clip on the right has no clickable area at all. I would post code to assist in diagnosis, but I don’t know where to begin with the code since everything looks kosher. My first intuition was that the clickable area of the left clip is one of the images in that clip that is under the top image (lower on the display list, and higher z value). However, that would not explain the lack of a clickable area in the right clip.
