Actionscript 3.0 click on hidden object

Question

I have a hidden DisplayObject (myObj.visible = false;). I've provided a listener:

myObj.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myHandler);

By myHandler does never fires. It seems that MouseEvent.CLICK is not delivered for hidden objects... How can I listen to MouseEvent.CLICK for my hidden object?

Answer 1

Try to put it with alpha=0.

var myDisplayObject = DisplayObject(myObj);
myDisplayObject.alpha = 0
myDisplayObject.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handler);
