TextBox problem

I've got a layout of a map and certain places on the map have a text box over it. These TB's are enabled, background set to transparent and border set to dashed to indicate 'clickable' locations on the map.

I can not get anything to trigger via:

mouse - cursor is over TBmap and condition left mouse clicked

mouse - click on object TBmap

it works with a sprite instead of a TB, but it is much harder to make a border on a sprite than a TB

I believe it is because of the inherent properties that a TB once clicked is supposed to let you type. Can I get past this?

My main goal is to just have a nice highlighted border that can easily be resized to show where you can click. Suggestions?

Thanks

You may need to use

For each Textbox

If Mouse is overlapping Textbox >>> Do something

Have you a CAPX I can play with, and see if I can fix ?

I think you'd be better off using nine-patch to create a border.

If you'd give me the css settings you use for the border I could create teh nine-patch object in 10 seconds. (just making a screenshot, deleting th bg-colour and cropping it)

I haven't gotten a dropbox yet. Thanks for the replies :)

9 patch huh? The border is something like "3px dashed black".

Would that resize for different areas, boxes, rectangles?

9-patch

Ahh yes, that does work very well actually. I couldn't figure out how to make a dashed line easily so used a black border and the picking with mouse works now. Figured out the middle to transparent and looks good.

Thank you!

Here's a dashed line example:
