Event propagation and inheritance

Question

Hi,
I have a button inheriting from another. In the ancester I have a CLICK event handler registered.I have another CLICK event handler in the descendent button. In the descendent I want to handle the CLICK event combined with the CTRL key. Without the CTRL key I want the the ancester event handler to do it's work. I tried different combinations of StopPropagation(), StopImmediatePropagation priorities, etc...with no satisfactory result. Sometimes both event handlers are triggered, sometimes only the event handler for the descendent is triggered. What would be the way to do this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Natasha,
I solved my problem by overriding the click event handler in the descendent like:
override protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
     if (event.ctrlKey) {
          ...do the stuff in case of CTRL-key held
     } else {
          // Do ancestor work for normal click         
          super.dispatchEvent(event)
So...no need for stopping propagation of the event
