How do I identify all the display objects in the display list in ActionScript, below the one that I have clicked? All the other objects are shadowed by the first one. What if other objects have visible parameter as hidden?

Do you want it to check recursively? What do you mean by identify? – citizen conn Jun 28 '11 at 22:30

As I said I want to know what objects are hidden under the visible one which is above the others so I can't identify them (ie. find their ids). – chrisiek Jun 28 '11 at 23:12

Can I ask why you need this? What are you trying to accomplish? – J_A_X Jun 29 '11 at 14:00

There are a few ways you can do this:
If you want to know all the objects under a point you could do this: Actionscript 3: get display object at pixel
var myObjects: Array = stage.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(5, 5));
replace 'stage' with any display object as well.
You can also cycle though every diplayobject and do a hit test with another display object (with a index lower than it)

It works nicely but it will not detect objects with visibility = false – chrisiek Jul 02 '11 at 18:13

you could go alpha = 0, of course keep an eye on performance when you mess with the alpha. – gltovar Jul 05 '11 at 06:17
