title: Routing Mouse Events through a Sprite in Actionscript 3
body: <p>In a pure Actionscript 3 project, I have a sprite that overlaps another sprite.  The lower sprite normally handles mouse clicks.  The lower sprite no longer processes mouse events when it is overlapped by the higher sprite.  </p>
