Another important difference is that the mouseOver event bubbles up the displaylist, but the rollOver event doesn't.

Thanks for that! I have wondered the difference between the two, but only passively. Never took the few minutes to do an experiment such as this. I've learned something today, I guess I'm done now, eh?

Thank you for posting. This flickering effect drove me mad, but now it's gone !

Thanks so much. You saved my day.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for all of your great posts. I am an old guy (52) trying to learn this stuff (both Flex, specifically, and programming, generally) for the first time, so please beware any lack of understanding in my question.

I am using the Flash Builder 4 trial, so the framework and/or component model has changed somewhat since your post on this subject. I am trying to figure out how to:

1. adapt it to the new framework, and

2. apply this concept to other containers (e.g., a spark BorderContainer)

I haven't yet figured out how to do this and am wondering if you have any suggestions?

many thanks in advance,

Mark
