Is there a way of verifying if the mouse is over an object like the MouseEvent class verifies, not by verifying with hitTestPoint ?

hitTestPoint calculates bases on the mouse coordinates, but I also need to know that even if the coordinates are over the object, there is not a second object over the target object.
