Textfields overlapping

programming flash
1

Well I am trying to make a menu.

This menu has 4 options, and each of them consists in aTextfield inside a Sprite. The Textfield has a custom TextFormat.

The problem is that each option is overlapped partially by the next one, so when I click on the bottom part of it, the one who reacts is the lower option.

See pic (border of textfield set to 1 to see the area):

How can avoid this?

Textfield and sprite settings:
ActionScript Code:

 [FONT=Courier New][LEFT]mouseChildren = [COLOR=#000000]**false**[/COLOR];
        buttonMode = [COLOR=#000000]**true**[/COLOR];
        _textfield = [COLOR=#000000]**new**[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]TextField[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
        addChild[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]_textfield[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
        _textfield.[COLOR=#0000ff]text[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#0000ff]_name[/COLOR];
        _textfield.[COLOR=#0000ff]border[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]**true**[/COLOR];
                    
        addEventListener[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]MOUSE_OVER[/COLOR], onMouseOver[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
        addEventListener[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]MOUSE_OUT[/COLOR], onMouseOut[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
        addEventListener[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000080]CLICK[/COLOR], onClick[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
        
        _textfield.[COLOR=#0000ff]selectable[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]**false**[/COLOR];
        _textfield.[COLOR=#000080]defaultTextFormat[/COLOR] = _fmt;
        _textfield.[COLOR=#0000ff]setTextFormat[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]_fmt[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
        _textfield.[COLOR=#0000ff]autoSize[/COLOR] = TextFieldAutoSize.[COLOR=#0000ff]LEFT[/COLOR];

[/LEFT]
[/FONT]

The textformat code is (its inside a getter func):

 ActionScript Code:

 [FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#000000]**var**[/COLOR] fmt:[COLOR=#0000ff]TextFormat[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]**new**[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]TextFormat[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]"Meta Normal Caps"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]48[/COLOR], 0x00aeef[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
        fmt.[COLOR=#000080]letterSpacing[/COLOR] = -[COLOR=#000080]5[/COLOR];
        fmt.[COLOR=#000080]kerning[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000080]0[/COLOR];
        
        [COLOR=#0000ff]return[/COLOR] fmt;
