Mouse Events get Ignored on the Underlying Layer

Question

I have two layers (= AnchorPanes) stacked one of the other with a StackPane. So both layer fill the whole scene. The problem is, that only the top layer receives mouse event

Answer 1

This cant work becouse the Event is catched by LayerB. You can set LayerB to MouseTransparent

layerB.setMouseTransparent(true)

But im not sure that button b is mousetranparent too after this.

Just give it a try, ohterwise do you thoughts about a different layout.
