MOUSE_OVER in EventListener not detecting collision with mouse

Question

stop();blueTarget.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mousehandler2);function mousehandler2(e:MouseEvent):void {removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mousehandler2);gotoAndStop("lose");}nexttButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mousehandler3);function mousehandler3(e:MouseEvent):void {removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mousehandler3);MovieClip(root).nextFrame();}Above is my coding. My issue is that whenever the mouse goes over blueTarget, it doesn't go to the lose screen as it's supposed to. Am I missing something? ThanksLuke

Would it be easier if I sent you my SWF of my project. and maybe FLA as well? Cause my code is inside if a button if that makes a difference.

Do you want my FLA & SWF File so you can see what I'm talking about?

Thanks

It makes a lot of difference. Because scope changes.

If your code is inside of the blueTarget, for example, than it should be:

addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mousehandler2);
function mousehandler2(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mousehandler2);
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop("lose");
}

The code is correct.Make sure:- You have a instance on stage called 'blueTarget';- That it doesn't have any children getting in the way;- Also that the 'blueTarget' doesn't have a irregular shape that it's interfering with the mouse over.
