The mousemove event is always executed

[fbrussa]

Hi, in this sample look at the console

http://jsfiddle.net/fv08nsxo/

The "mousemove " event is triggered always.
This should be only when the mouse is over the DisplayObjectContainer or I have a misconception?

Are you sure you sent the right fiddle? This one has nothing related to mouse events.

I do not know if this is expected behavior.
Here is an example where this could be useful: you have a smiley face with eyes following the mouse. Even if the mouse is not over the face it still tracks the mouse with its eyes. Now, I personally think that this is not the way to solve this problem, you should place a larger container in which to track the mouse movements and based on those movements set the eyes position.

So, I think this should be fixed mostly because all the other events only trigger when the mouse is over that element. Why would mousemove be different?

Here is a quick fix, update PIXI interaction mousemove function:

for (var i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
    var item = this.interactiveItems[i];

    // Call the function!
    if (item.mousemove)
    {
        item.mousemove(this.mouse);
    }
}

To

for (var i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
    var item = this.interactiveItems[i];

    item.__hit = this.hitTest(item, this.mouse);
    // Call the function!
    if (item.mousemove && item.__hit)
    {
        item.mousemove(this.mouse);
    }
}

Does it make sense to have this change as a PR?

I use that feature quite regularly when dragging items.
To get around your issue you could do a box.isOver = true in a mouseover and box.isOver = false in a mouseout, then in your mousemove you can just return early when box.isOver === false

hi guys,
This is actually intended behavior. As @NikkiKoole mentioned its very handy to have it set up like this. It is also quite easy to impose the restriction at your application level if required. Cheers!
