Groups do not receive mouseEnter messages?

[Bob Sneidar]

As I understand it, a group will be the FIRST object to get a mouse message, IF you click on an actual object in the group. So you can have a mouseUp handler in the group script that handles clicks in other objects, simpy by using the target to determine what was clicked.

I now know I have to put some transparent object that fills the group and is also behind all the other controls. It never made any sense to me why this is. I thought as others that the group is a control and would get mouse messages. If this was so then the group would only get the message if 1) you clicked in the group but not on a child 2) You clicked in the group and on a child control and the control passed the message.
