I agree. I have also found another workaround using the selection handles in a child that is set to the right width and height. This gives me my handles in the clip sized right and in my listener methods I am performing actions to the parent.

I have a question I am using a movie clip with come children in it. On of the children is its own transform object. It works fine. However, when the child become larger than the parent (which is also a Transform object) the selection box traces the whole parent which is too big. I have a mask over one of the children, so what I end up with in a white gap between my parent selection and the mask inside of it. Is there an yway to set the size of the selection box so the handles trace the shape wrap the size of the child mask? I hope that makes sense.
