title: Transparent Bitmap blocking mouse events for underlaying objects
body: <p>I'm embedding a bitmap via the Embed tag. It's basically a circle shape with one thousand effects created by the graphic designer :)</p>
  
  <p>Now my problem is that I have some icons around this circle, in its outer part, but the rectangular bounding box of the bitmap it's blocking any event. I cannot change the z-index of the icons because of my setup, and I'm really confused about this.</p>
  
  <p>Obviously I already tried to wrap this loaded bitmap in an sprite and setting its mouseEnabled property to false (also its mouseChildren, just in case), but it doesn't work....</p>
  
  <p>Do I really need to use getObjectsUnderThePoint method as stated <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5416629/forward-mouseevent-in-transparent-bitmap-to-underlying-movieclip">here</a> or am I missing something obvious?</p>
  
  <p>I'm going to put apart my pride and ask for help :)
  Thank you!</p>
  
  <p>My display list contains two instances of two different classes:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Submenu (where the icons are)</li>
  <li>Main Menu (where the bitmap is)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>...that means that my icons holder instance is below the one containing the bitmap.</p>
