Cp6 + AS3 swf : "target == stage" not working

Hello,

I've done a SWF where I want to reset stage when clicking outside objects.

The SWF alone works perfectly but does not inside Captivate.

I did a simplified version :

mc.visible = false;

 

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickOutside, false, 0, true);

 

function clickOutside(e:MouseEvent):void

{

          if (e.target == stage)

          {

                    mc.visible = true;

          }

}

The line :   if (e.target == stage)

does not work anymore.

Does importing SWF in Cp adds another level (stage is Cp scene, the SWF parent) ?

Thanks.

Correct answer TLCMediaDesign

The captivate slide is the object capturing the event. Why don't you use an invisible button or transparent movieclip to capture the event? Then check if e.target.name == instance name.

Thanks for your tip, it works !

It's weird I read nowhere that Captivate slide became stage when importing...
