Using Actionscript 3.0, I’m making a button class which instatiates an image and a textfield that goes above it. I’ve also made the text field un-selectable (textfield.selectable = false;) so the text cant be highlighted.

The problem is that I have rollover event handlers for this button class and when I roll over the text, its as if the rollover event handlers won’t pick it up. How do I make it so flash treats the image AND the text field as a whole button?:trout:
