MOUSE OUT is being called inside MovieClip

I added a MOUSE_OVER event listener to my MovieClip, then i added MOUSE_OUT just like this : 

mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, boxItemMouseOver, false, 0, true);

protected function boxItemMouseOver(e:MouseEvent):void
    {

        trace("mouse over");
        var boxItem:MovieClip = e.currentTarget as MovieClip;

        boxItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, boxItemMouseOut, false, 0, true);
        boxItem.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, boxItemMouseOver);       
    }


    protected function boxItemMouseOut(e:MouseEvent):void
    {

        trace("mouse out");
        var boxItem:MovieClip = e.currentTarget as MovieClip;

        boxItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, boxItemMouseOver, false, 0, true);
        boxItem.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, boxItemMouseOut);         
    }

But whenever i move the mouse inside my MovieClip, the MOUSE_OUT event function is being called, although i still didn't leave the area taken by the MovieClip.

I managed to find out where my Problem is, but still can't fix it, i'm adding to my SWF a Cursor that replaces the icon of the mouse (I hide the mouse), once i add it the problem occurs, here is a simple example.

1.. u have 'trace("mouse over")' in both functions 2.. first remove mouse over listener, than add mouse out listener 3.. i don't get, why do u need to declare new variable 'boxItem' when u can just write e.target.removeEventListener(..) 4.. it's impossible what u are talking, i caught several unnecessary code in few lines, so there is big chance u are doing somth wrong in your code, show us bigger piece of your code..

p.s. also, try mouseEnabled to false along with mouseChildren to false, but i doubt it will work

Set mouseChildren to false on boxItem.

Listen for ROLL_OUT instead. MOUSE_OUT is dispatched when cursor left any of the nested chidlren of you MovieClip.
