This idea seems very good indeed: the fact that the areas set at 1 in 
alphaData will recieve
mouseClicks is no worse than my suggestion about layering with an opaque 
graphic, but those
transparent areas will still appear transparent to the end-user, while 
with my suggestion
they would have ended up as white.
