I am using a Canvas itemRenderer for a container I use to display images. See pseudo code below.
image = new Image(); image.source = data.@thumb; this.addChi
I agree with Josh that the ROLL_OVER events seem more appropriate to what you're doing. However, you should be aware of the mouseChildren property of flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer (an ancestor of UIComponent).
ROLL_OVER
