I would like to know if it is possible to pass a clip event on to both the function that has a listener, and to the button that is being pressed. I am finding the listener takes it and thus the button doesn’t see it. I found a walk around, however, I’d like to know if it is possible say for one clip event to be seen by both objects? For example, with the mouse over a button the listener function detects the event and carries itself out, however, the button misses the event now. ---
