[Xerte] hotspots

[Dave Burnett]

Is there any sort of precedence I can set up that will allow overlapped HS to both function?
Or do I need another architecture?

Issue:

I have a graphic with multiple hotspots.
The hs areas need to both react when they are rolled over, (draw a shadow effect to indicate user over hs) and when they are clicked (show  feedback).
The feedback also needs to erase on rollout.
(This is a proto, so I can't use a button, unless it's transparent. Hmm there's a thought).  

If over a spot I lay 2 hotspots (1 click=0, another click=1) then no matter how I order them in the flow, the hs higher in the tree blocks anything below it from functioning.
Also, if I lay a catchall in there, it block everything else.

I suspect I'm using a hammer when I should be using a saw.
Is the transparent button feasible?
Maybe a transparent png hot object? (or do i run into the same precedence issue?)
