Preventing Mouse Clicks from Re-Focusing?

programming flash

**(**This is within a Document Class external Manager.as)
(Game controls are called in Controls.as and successfully assigned to Manager.root via addEventListeners within Controls)


Manager.root = this;
this.root.addEventListener(FocusEvent.MOUSE_FOCUS_CHANGE, dont);

private function dont(e:FocusEvent):void
{
e.preventDefault();
}

var game:Levels = new Levels;
this.addChild(game);
game.mouseChildren = false;
stage.focus = game;

Keyboard controls work… until you click. Why doesn’t preventDefault(); work? How can I stop the mouse from re-assigning focus upon click?

Thanks for your help! I’m sure a solution will also be handy for many others.
