Hi Jesse,
I experimented with your example and what I have found is this.

‘Flash Player dispatches the mouseMove event when a user moves the pointing device while it is over an InteractiveObject.’

Quoted from InteractiveObject.

With that being said, I decided to trace the width and height of the class that you are actually trying to get the event added to. Well they trace 0.

This makes sense, unless you create a child object, like you did 500×500, there is no Sprite to recieve or for that matter produce a mouseMove event.

By creating your transparent backgraound, flex then knew that your Sprite was 500×500, when you add that bit of code back in, they both trace to 500×500 and you actually have an real Sprite.

Man this as3 is awsome.

Peace, Mike

Parameters should work with a custom class that extends the base Event.

with == lame. It had bugs in earlier players, so I haven’t trusted it since, nor would care too but can see the reasoning; save typing.

Parameters? No clue… if you find out, let me know!

I hope the ‘with’ statement is still available in AS3…

> Notice, NO FRIKIN’ DELEGATE!

So now how do you pass parameters a la ascb.util.Proxy?
I’m guessing they have to be put into the event object, right?
