Actionscript 3: Preventing mouse events *except* for a specific button/movieclip?

Question

Is there a way to block mouse events except for a specific MovieClip or Sprite?

ie I know that to prevent ALL mouse clicks, I can write something like:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPreventClick, true, 0, true);
...
private function onPreventClick(e:MouseEvent) {
    e.stopImmediatePropagation(); 
 e.preventDefault();
}

Answer 1

You can check e. currentTarget to find the object who fired the Event and doing your filtering according to that.
