Scene Object Mouse Click Cooordinates (xyz)

Anyone run into and figured out a method for detecting the scene coordinates (xyz) of a mouse click on an object? Very simply I have a two-dimentional plane (ground) and a box (character) that begins at x0,z0 (directly "on" the plane). I'd like to mouse-click on the plane and move the box to that spot based on the scene x,z. After a few days of trying I'm no closer to solving this seemingly straightforward issue. Anyone wanting to do "click to move" for 3D assets rather than keyboard or mouse drag will need this. Having no real documentation or code-view into the API isn't helping. Am I missing something that should be obvious?
I have to say that I'm a little surprised that there hasn't been any "official' responses to any of our questions. I think the Proscenium team has done a fantastic job so far with this framework. It's simple to setup and get going yet powerful by giving you great depth into the heart of Stage3D without stepping on the framework itself. But, it's not that hard to imagine that there are a lot of us wanting to move into this "new" medium but feel teased by what we've been shown ('code'us-interruptus?). At the moment you either have to know/learn what you need to create your own framework (a big task if you'v enever done it) or use someone elses. In my opinion the existing third-party options are bloated and unwieldy for my purposes. At a time where "everyone" is trying to quickly get their ideas to market with this new tech it's unfortunate we can't get a few simple questions answered. Seriously, if you have a "discussion" and see that any given post has 100 or more views but zero replys, that's not a discussion. You're just talking to yourself.
My appoligies for turning this into a rant.

Thanks for the reply pio.
I tried that angle (pun only slightly intended) and was successful in identifying the object directly “behind” the cursor using scene.pick, even getting that object’s world position. But, if my ground plane is positioned at 0,0,0 I can only get that position directly from the object, which doesn’t do me any good. What I need to know are the coordinates of the point where the cursor bisected the object, relative to its center, from the origin of the camera view. That would tell me the direction and distance I would need to move another object within world space.
I thought I had come up with a solution but the immediate problem I ran into was the closed nature of the framework. So, after a few days of unproductive grumbling I decided that the only way I was truly going to accomplish what I wanted was to build everything from the ground-up. I still think Proscenium has great potential but I’m done waiting for a RC. For anyone who’s thought about digging into heart of stage3D and building their own framework, but thought it would be incredibly difficult, well, it is. At least it as for me but anyone who would find it easy probably isn’t in this forum. After climbing a steep learning curve (AGAL and I are back on speaking terms) I finally got going and am extremely pleased with what I’ve accomplished. Granted, I did spend a lot of time initially banging my forehead on my desk but I finally “got it”, and with only a slight concussion.
The resources are out there.

Follow an object (mouse click) without decreasing the speed

hello,
i want to make a movie clip follow the mouse while we are pressing the left Button (NOT "be" the mouse ), i end it up with this code but am having a problem,
-the speed of the movie clip decrase by his own, i know that this is happening because of the last two lines, i will be glad if anyone could help me to solve this problem, thanx
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
          onMouseUp = function ()
                    apui = false;
          onMouseDown = function ()
                    apui = true;
                    rotateSpeed = 3;
          if (apui == true)

                    goY = this._y;
          this._x -= (this._x - this.goX)/20 ;
          this._y -= (this._y - this.goY)/20 ;

thank you, this is solved the speed issue, now i had one last problem, the rotation,
1st let me know if i had to close this discussion and start another one cause i found what i was looking for .
but maybe i can ask about it here,
so here is the rotation issue,
first here is my rotation code
function rotateTowards(clip, targetX, targetY)
          var clipPoint = {x:clip._x, y:clip._y};
          clip._parent.localToGlobal(clipPoint);
          var deltaX = targetX - clipPoint.x;
          var deltaY = targetY - clipPoint.y;
          var rotationRadian = Math.atan2(deltaY, deltaX);
          var rotationAngle = radiansToDegrees(rotationRadian);
          clip._rotation -= (clip._rotation-rotationAngle)/8;
function radiansToDegrees(radians)
          return (radians / Math.PI) * 180;
and i have this code on my car movieClip
onClipEvent (load) {
          rotateSpeed = 3;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
          onMouseUp = function ()
                    apui = false;
          onMouseDown = function ()
                    apui = true;
                    rotateSpeed = 3;
          if (apui == true)
                    goX = _root._xmouse;
                    goY = _root._ymouse;
                    rotX = _root._xmouse;
                    rotY = _root._ymouse;
                    _root.rotateTowards(this,rotX,rotY);
          else if (apui == false)
                    goX = this._x;
                    goY = this._y;
          _root.destination_mc._x = goX;
          _root.destination_mc._y = goY;
          this._x -= (this._x - this.goX) / 15;
          this._y -= (this._y - this.goY) / 15;
my problem is to make the rotation more "realistic" for example if we choose to go to the opposit direction i need the car to rollback then make a 1/2 turn then go tward the point
thank you

At runtime, can it be determined if multiple overlapping objects/layers exist beneath a mouse click?

Hi folks - total nube here. I am trying to find out whether I can determine if multiple objects exist beneath a usr's mouse click coordinates. The objects will be either shaded areas under a LineSeries in a chart or possibly overlayed images representing such areas (not sure which approach would be better). I know that I can probably determine alebraically whether the coordinates selected b a mouse click belong under one series or another or multiple and if this is the best option, then I will proceed with it. But possibly, there is a way for me to determine whether a shaded area under a series or a grpahical element exists under those coordinates. Any hints? Thanks in advance.

Yes, export it for your reference first. make it delete and create new one.
hope it should work fine.
thx

How to change dynamic text on mouse click of an object

Here is my Project File.
I'm wanting to change dynamic text when an object is clicked.
I created 3 dynamic text boxes under "Selected Colors" and gave them instance names of selected_roof_color, selected_trim_color and selected_wall_color.
When the user clicks a color (ie Arctic White) and then clicks say the roof, I want the "Selected Color" to display "Arctic White" to the right of "Roof:".
The colorable areas on the building have been given instances of roof, walls and trim.
I used this tutorial to change in the textbox underneath the colors when you mouse over a color.
Thank you for your assistance.

My first button color is Arctic White and it has an instance of arcticwhite.
The actionscript for the Arctic White Button is:
on (release) {
_root.fillColor = 0xf3f5f4;
_root.brush.gotoAndStop(1);
The roof button has an instance of selected_roof_color and my dynamic text field where I want "Arctic White" to appear is given an instance of selected_roof_text.
Using your suggestion, my main Actionscript now has the following
roof.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,roof);
function roof(e:MouseEvent):void{
selected_roof_text.text="roof";
Looks like I've still got something incorrect as the selected_roof_text isn't changing when I click a color onto the roof.
Can you explain what the F in "roofF" is? Is that a typo?

How to add an object on mouse click?

i am trying to add an object on user's mouse click...but not getting how?
can anyone help me?

You could create the movieclip object and put it in the library with a linkage name, e.g. mcExample and then on the main _root. timeline add something like:
this.onMouseDown = function(){
mcExample = this.attachMovie("mcExample", "mcExample", 1);
This attaches the movieclip from the library onto the stage when the left mouse button is pressed. You can then manipulate the movieclip like any other using its identifier: mcExample. If you want to change the name of the attached movieclip then change the second parameter of attachMovie

How do I set my project to advance to next slide on mouse click vs just play?

Captivate 6 on mac running OS 10.7.5 file format in question .htm (firefox)
I'm brand new to Captivate 6 (never used it before) I have put together a mock presentation from scratch which has a few introductory slides then a quiz. When I publish it there is a "play" button which is NOT the behavior I want.
I watched a training video from Lynda.com and the insstructor imported a PPT file, there was a dialog box which asked the how to advance slide, there was a drop down menu and one of two options was advance "on mouse click". This is the behavior I'm looking for.
I've scoured the internet and forums etc to find a comparable option elsewhere in Captivate 6 when creating from scratch vs importing from PPT and cannot find one anywhere. I've also read that you can insert a click box object and that that would do what I'm looking for but that doesn't work either.
Does any such option exist and if so where/ how do I get to it/ use it. Please see attachments below. First screen shot is the first slide I get which isn't the first slide either, what's up with that? Next one is simply to show how the project just "plays" instead of advancing slide by slide. Third is my publish dialog box. Bottom line I don't want a "play" button I want the user to mouse click next, next, next etc. How do I do this?
Thank you for any help or suggestions!

Maybe I understand something wrongly, but thought you also wanted to know how you can make slides advance on clicking the Next button instead of having it playing on automatically? And instead of using the playbar you want to have a Previous and Next button?
The way imported PPT with advance on Mouse click works is because there is a click box added to each slide that pauses that slide at its end. The user has to click on the slide to advance.
A click box is an 'interactive' object: this means that you can have it pausing the slide, that the user can interact with it and trigger an action like 'Go to Next Slide'.
You added (from what I see on the last screenshot) another interactive object, but now I'm confused: the third screenshot has a Prev and Next arrow, I think those are shapes. You do not need to add a click box on top of them (what I see on the last screenshot), they can be converted themselves into buttons. I blogged a lot about those shape buttons. Anyway, both click box and shape button can pause the slide. This is the case by default for click boxes (at the end of their duration, their timeline), for shape buttons you have to tell them to pause in the Timing accordion. In your case I certainly would choose a shape button because they can be put on a master slide, or timed for the rest of the project whereas Click boxes need to be unique on each slide, you'l have a lot of copy/paste to do then. In the Action accordion, On Success you choose the action, I think in this case you want 'Go to Next Slide' for the Next 'thing'
As for the first screenshot, Rod explained that you cannot get rid of the play button for pdf output, but you can have a poster image instead of the blank screen. There is a folder icon in Preferences, Project, Start and End when you deselect AuotPlay.
Here is a link to an article where I explain shape buttons:
http://lilybiri.posterous.com/why-i-like-shape-buttons-captivate-6
There is an on-demand webinar as well on the Adobe site which I presented, only about shape buttons.

Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back." How in PP 2010 for mac????

I do presentations in PP10. I am new to macair, and used to Windows. HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"? I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back. The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box. I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC. How do I do it with the Mac????
Thanks

Hi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.

How can I (neatly) control mouse click events in a multi-dimensional array?

Hello everyone!
     I have a question regarding the use of mouse clicks events in a multi-dimensional array (or a "2D" array as we refer to them in Java and C++).
Background
     I have an array of objects each with a corresponding mouse click event. Each object is stored at a location ranging from [0][0] to [5][8] (hence a 9 x 6 grid) and has the specific column and row number associated with it as well (i.e. tile [2][4] has a row number of 2 and a column number of 4, even though it is on the third row, fifth column). Upon each mouse click, the tile that is selected is stored in a temporary array. The array is cleared if a tile is clicked that does not share a column or row value equal to, minus or plus 1 with the currently targeted tile (i.e. clicking tile [1][1] will clear the array if there aren't any tiles stored that have the row/column number
[0][0], [0][1], [0][2],
[1][0], [1][1], [1][2],
[2][0], [2][1], [2][2]
or any contiguous column/row with another tile stored in the array, meaning that the newly clicked tile only needs to be sharing a border with one of the tiles in the temp array but not necessarily with the last tile stored).
Question
     What is a clean, tidy way of programming this in AS3? Here are a couple portions of my code (although the mouse click event isn't finished/working correctly):
public function tileClick(e:MouseEvent):void
   var tile:Object = e.currentTarget;
   tileSelect.push(uint(tile.currentFrameLabel));
   selectArr.push(tile);
   if (tile.select.visible == false)
    tile.select.visible = true;
   else
    tile.select.visible = false;
   for (var i:uint = 0; i < selectArr.length; i++)
    if ((tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN - 1) ||
     (tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN) ||
     (tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN + 1))
     if ((tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN - 1) ||
     (tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN) ||
     (tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN + 1))
      trace("jackpot!" + i);
    else
     for (var ii:uint = 0; ii < 1; ii++)
      for (var iii:uint = 0; iii < selectArr.length; iii++)
       selectArr[iii].select.visible = false;
      selectArr = [];
      trace("Err!");

Andrei1,
     So are you saying that if I, rather than assigning a uint to the column and row number for each tile, just assigned a string to each one in the form "#_#" then I could actually just assign the "adjacent" array directly to it instead of using a generic object to hold those values? In this case, my click event would simply check the indexes, one at a time, of all tiles currently stored in my "selectArr" array against the column/row string in the currently selected tile. Am I correct so far? If I am then let's say that "selectArr" is currently holding five tile coordinates (the user has clicked on five adjacent tiles thus far) and a sixth one is being evaluated now:
Current "selectArr" values:
       1_0
       1_1, 2_1, 3_1
              2_2
New tile clicked:
       1_0
       1_1, 2_1, 3_1
              2_2
              2_3
Coordinate search:
       1_-1
0_0, 1_0, 2_0, 3_0
0_1, 1_1, 2_1, 3_1, 4_1
       1_2, 2_2, 3_2
              2_3
     Essentially what is happening here is that the new tile is checking all four coordinates/indexes belonging to each of the five tiles stored in the "selectArr" array as it tries to find a match for one of its own (which it does for the tile at coordinate 2_2). Thus the new tile at coordinate 2_3 would be marked as valid and added to the "selectArr" array as we wait for the next tile to be clicked and validated. Is this correct?

Mouse Clicks/Positons in Pictures!

Even a guru learns new things...
I just discovered the use of a picture control/indicator to detect mouse positions and clicks! What a wonderful thing. I have LabVIEW 6.0.2, and have, up to now, not known about this. To all those out there who I recommended to use the mouse click API for Windows, I apologize. This is such a marvelous way to get Mouse information. It's easy, efficient, and completely held within LabVIEW.
If anyone is wondering what I am talking about, go to Help>Examples in LabVIEW and go to the Examples>Advanced Examples>Picture Control Examples>Mouse Control.vi to see what I mean. I didn't realize that if you dropped a picture control (even as an invisible object!) on the front panel that you could use prop
erty nodes to get x and y positions, and also the left, right, shift left or right, and third mouse button click information.
Of course, I hear that this may all be somewhat obsolete in LabVIEW 6.1, but for those still using 6.01 or earlier, it's a great tool that means you don't have to mess with API, MFC or dlls.
Any comments or questions?

Hi,
This is ideal for some applications, you can even build drag/drop functions
into a picture control using this. But there are some backdraws (or one very
big one);
The picture control needs to be the control on front.
The picture control needs to cover the entire area you need information on.
This implies that normal functions of controls and indicators cannot be
used, not even simply clicking on a button...
It also makes the screen updates take a lot more proccessor time, because
controls/indicators are overlapping. In the example for instance, the charts
are not clear to read, because they're flickering.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Mouse clicks on shapes drawn on canvas

I'm having some trouble adding a mouseListener to a shape I've drawn on a canvas.
I'm drawing a circle using g.drawOval() and then filling it in with the g.fillOval().
The thing is I want the circle to be sensitive to mouse clicks on it, I'm trying to write the classic dots and boxes game, so I can draw a line from it to the
next circle (dot) clicked.
Unfortunately, the circle is not picking up on the mouseClicked event, I'm pretty sure my dotActions class works because I used it on another class which extends JLabel and it works fine, that is when the label is clicked the program exits, but when I add it to the Dots class it doesn't pick up on any mouse events.
Here is my code, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
public class Dots extends Canvas {
public Dots(gameBoard gb, Graphics g, int x, int y, int hspace, int vspace){
g.drawOval(x, y, 10, 10);
g.fillOval(x, y, 10, 10);
dotActions da = new dotActions(this);
addMouseListener(da);
public class dotActions implements MouseListener{
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
//this is a test to see if the mouse event is picked up
System.exit(0);
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e)
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
}

Create a shape and add the listener to that as well as drawing to the screen.
Or what I did was to save all the shapes and then test the mouse point to see if current mouse point was inside any. In my case I am using it to provide context sensitive help
MArk
* handle context sensitive tooltips - replaces default java
* routine with our own which is context sensitive
public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent e)
Point raw_p = e.getPoint();
//convert to our co-ords
Point p = new Point(screenToScaledCoordsX((int) raw_p.getX()),
screenToScaledCoordsY((int) raw_p.getY()));
String tip = null;
//check any tooltips to see if match found
if (number_of_tooltips > 0)
//check each object and get master tooltip text if inside rectangle if on
//same page - go through all as text objects added before titles which will then be picked up
for (int i = 0; i < number_of_tooltips; i++)
if ((tool_tip_page[i] == last_page_id) &&
(tool_tip_rectangle.contains(p)))
tip = tool_tip_text[i];
//return default or ours
return tip;

Mouse clicks retina

Since upgrading to the latest 10.8.2 update, left mouse clicks via the track pad or usb mouse and the mouses position on screen are not recognized. to remedy the issue, I often have to open and close the laptop's display multiple times before the computer recogized position or left clicks. Right clicks are always recognized.
I do many presentations using my machine - this is super frustrating!
In addition, sometimes the mouse click will get stuck in the down position - regardless of mouse device plugged in.
So I unable to release objects that are being drag'n dropped. Browser windows especially.

I'm assuming you have already rebooted the unit at some point and tested. If you have then I would also look at resetting the SMC and testing again. If there is still a problem then I would test in a new user on the Mac and see if the issue ocurrs there also.
If it does then boot to your Recovery Partition and test it there. If none of this makes any difference then you may have to look at reinstalling the OS to see if that makes a change. It sounds HW based right now but it could quite conceivably be SW related as the issue only started after an update.
If you do end up reinstalling the OS then test it right away in 10.8 and make sure everything is fine. If it is then you could go online and manually download 10.8.1 and make sure it's fine there also. If it is again then I would possible avoid 10.8.2 as it would appear at that point that it was the cause of the issue.
If you do all of the above and even after the reinstall there is a problem then you would need to try erasing the HD and reinstalling. If after that there is still an issue then it is a HW problem and you will need to take the Mac into an Apple Store or Service Provider to get it serviced.

External Interface and Mouse Clicks

I'm new to writing ActionScript.
I am working in .NET (C#) environment using
AxShockwaveFlashObjects.
I am simply trying to react to a mouse click on the Flash
ActiveX Control.
I have inserted the code in a layer only used for script:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
var boolMouseDown:Boolean = false;
mouseListener.onMouseDown = function ()
boolMouseDown = true;
mouseListener.onMouseUp = function()
if (boolMouseDown)
ExternalInterface.call("MouseClicked", "NavigateToURL", "
http://www.adobe.com");
boolMouseDown = false;
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
I get the MouseClick event in my C# code. The problem is that
I get TWO of the same event ??
Can someone tell me why or how I should be doing this to get
only one event.
Thanks,
Steve

Take a look at java.awt.event.MouseAdapter, which implements interfaces MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener and EventListener.
For sample codes on how to use these classes, read through the posts on the Swing forum and you'll find plenty.
If you have a more specific question, feel free to post back.

A script that captures the coordinates of the mouse clicks and saves them into a file

Hello,
I'm trying to create a cartoon taking a movie (I've chosen blade runner) as base. I've got the real movie and I've exported all the pictures using VirtualDUB. Now I have a lot of images to modify. I would like to modify the actors faces with the faces generated by Facegen modeller. I'm thinking how to make the whole process automatic because I have a lot of images to manage. I've chosen to use Automate BPA,because it seems the best for this matter. I'm a newbie,so this is my first attempt using Adobe Photoshop and Automate BPA. I wrote a little script. It takes a face generated with Facegen modeller and tries to put it above the original actors faces. But it doesn't work very good and I'm not really satisfied,because the process is not fully automated. To save some time I need to write a script that captures the coordinates of the mouse when I click over the faces and that saves them into a file,so that Automate BPA can read these coordinates from that file and can put the face generated with Facegen Modeller above the original face. I think that Automate BPA is not good for this matter. I think that two coordinates are enough,X and Y. They can be the coordinates of the nose,because it is always in the middle of every face. It is relevant to knows how big should be the layer of the new face,too. This is the Automate BPA code that I wrote :
<AMVARIABLE NAME="nome_foto" TYPE="TEXT"></AMVARIABLE>
<AMVARIABLE NAME="estensione_foto" TYPE="TEXT"></AMVARIABLE>
<AMSET VARIABLENAME="nome_foto">br</AMSET>
<AMSET VARIABLENAME="estensione_foto">.jpeg</AMSET>

and this is a short video to explain better what I want to do :
http://www.flickr.com/photos/26687972@N03/5331705934/
In the last scene of the video you will see the script asking to input the X and the Y coordinates of the nose. This request is time consuming. For this reason I want to write a script that captures automatically the coordinates of the mouse clicks. The only thing to do should be click over the nose and the script should make the rest. As "c.pfaffenbichler" suggested here : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/775219, I could explore 3 ways :
1) use the Color Sampler Tool’s input with a conventional Photoshop Script.
2) use After Effects would provide a better solution.
3) Photoshop’s Animation Panel might also offer some easier way as it might be possible to load two movies (or one movie and one image) and animate the one with the rendered head in relation to the other.
Since I'm a totally newbie in graphic and animation,could you help me to explore these ways ? Thanks for your cooperation.

These are the coordinates of the contours of the face that you see on the picture. Can you explain to me how they are calculated ? The coordinates of the first colums are intuitive,but I'm not able to understand how are calculated the coordinates of the second one.
Thanks.
1 COL 2 COL (how are calculated these values ?)

What is the recommended way to handle mouse click events for custom nodes that subclass Panes?

Hi,
I have created a custom node that is a StackPane containing a Label on top of a Polygon.
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Polygon;
public class CustomHexagon extends StackPane {
    private Polygon hexagon;
    private Label overlayText;
    public CustomHexagon( String text, double... points ) {
        this.hexagon = new Polygon( points );
        this.overlayText = new Label( text );
        overlayText.setStyle( "-fx-font-weight: bold;" );
        hexagon.setStroke( Color.GREEN );
        hexagon.setStrokeWidth( 5.0 );
        hexagon.setFill( Color.WHITE );
        this.getChildren().addAll( hexagon, overlayText );
// Lays out the node where it should be according to the points provided for the Polygon.
        this.setLayoutX( points[0] - getLayoutBounds().getMinX() );
        this.setLayoutY( points[1] - getLayoutBounds().getMinY() );
// Show the border of the StackPane.
        this.setStyle( "-fx-border-color: black; -fx-border-width: 1; -fx-border-style: dashed;");
    public String getOverlayText() {
        return overlayText.getText();
I want to display a tesselation of these custom hexagons. Because a CustomHexagon is a StackPane, not a Polygon, MouseClick events can be picked up when the mouse is clicked outside of the stroke of the hexagon but still within the StackPane (which takes up a rectangle larger than the hexagon). The following program demonstrates this.
public class Main extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        Group root = new Group();
        CustomHexagon[] hexagons = {

After running this program, when one clicks within the intersection of two StackPanes (borders shown by dashed lines), the target of the mouse click event will be the StackPane on top as determined by the order in which they were added to their parent.
This is a problem because there is only a small "T" shaped area within each hexagon that when clicked will target that hexagon with an event, rather than adjacent nodes.
I would appreciate any reccomendations to solve this problem.
Thanks,

Hello, this is an evergreen. Just call setPickOnBounds(false) on the CustomHexagon.
