AS3: Trace MovieClips Under Mouse

 / Published in: ActionScript 3
 

URL: http://www.bigspaceship.com/blog/labs/snaring-mouseenabled/

This is a handly little snippet from Big Spaceship. It will show you (on click) what movieclips are under your mouse. This is handy for those times when something is blocking a mouse action and you need to see what is under your mouse.
