AS3, Mouse Over even when something is above movieclip

Let's say there is a TOP movieclip

and another BOTTOM movieclip

How would I trigger a mouse event when the mouse is over BOTTOM even if TOP is overlaying it?

Probably this can also be the solution if you don't want your topClip mouse disabled OR if you want to receive your mouse event on both movie clips.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" >
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;

            private function onMouseOver(evt:MouseEvent):void
            {
                if(evt.currentTarget==bottomClip)
                {
                    Alert.show(bottomClip+" CLICKED");
                }
                if(evt.currentTarget==topClip)
                {
                    Alert.show(topClip+" CLICKED");
                }
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Canvas id="can" width="600" height="400" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0" borderStyle="solid" borderColor="red" >
        <mx:Canvas id="bottomClip" click="onMouseOver(event)">
            <mx:Canvas id="actualBottomClip" width="400" height="300" x="100" y="50" backgroundColor="red" />
            <mx:Canvas id="topClip" click="onMouseOver(event)">
                <mx:Canvas id="actualTopClip" width="200" height="75" x="50" y="100" backgroundColor="green" />
            </mx:Canvas>
        </mx:Canvas>
    </mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>

Assuming you don't want any mouse events for the top one, set mouseEnabled to false for the top clip.

topClip.mouseEnabled= false;
