Mouse Events Transparency

[Randy Hengst]

Hi Tom and Mark W.,

I realize Andres has moved on with this, but I'm still confused about  
pass. Tom and Mark both suggested using pass and I'd like to  
understand how because I simply cannot make it work.

The way I understand the original post, Andres was placing an image  
over a button -- in a layer above the button -- that held the name.  
He did that in an effort to solve localization issues.  He wanted the  
user's mouse to still activate the button's "roll-over" capabilities  
(using the built in icon options) even though the image was covering  
the button and intercepting the mouse events.

How do you pass the mouse events from the image covering the button  
to that button? All I can do with pass is pass the mouse events from  
image to the card.

take care,
randy hengst
