Hi

I've loaded an array of images into a border container, and each is it's own UIComponent. I want to roll over each object in the border container and perform some action such as a vertical transform, or maybe a tool tip, or a drag and drop. I just need some direction as to how to detect what's under the mouse and select it.

What is the direction I should look? Would this be an event on the borderContainer, and is mouseEnabled going to utilise

flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer.mouseChildren?

I'm a learner here. I don't even know if I can do what I want with this method. However, I did discover that placing the required number of image components on the screen really slows down the performance.

private function result(event:SQLEvent):void

                              {

                                        var data:Array = selectStmt.getResult().data;

                                        for (var i:int = 0; i < data.length; i++)

                                        {

                                                   /* trace(data[i].image);  */

                                                  var card:Loader = new Loader();

                                                  var imageUrl:String = "assets/" + data[i].image;

                                                  var cardImage:UIComponent = new UIComponent();

                                                  card.load(new URLRequest(imageUrl));

                                                  cardImage.addChild(card);

                                                  bc1.addElement(cardImage);

                                                  cardImage.scaleX = .5;

                                                  cardImage.scaleY = .5;

                                                  cardImage.x = 25*i;

                                                  cardImage.y = 5;

                                                  cardImage.mouseEnabled = true;                    //check out:  flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer.mouseChildren

                                        }

                              }

Thanks
