Why doesn't mouseEnabled work with Text?

I have a project with buttons on the stage which have Mouse_ROLL_OVER event listeners attached.

On Roll over a text popup is animated with FlashEff and FETBubbles, the text rising up and forming above the button.

However as soon as the text moves across the button it takes focus and the ROLL_OUT listener for the underlying button is invoked which removes the FlashEff instance, of course as soon as the FlashEff effect is removed the mouse over the button triggers the ROLL_OVER event again and the cycle repeats, never allowing the FlashEff effect to complete.

I have tried to use the mouseEnabled=false, which works for standard movieclip effects I create, but FlashEff just ignores it?

I have even tried buttonMode=false and useHandCursor=false but also no effect.

Is this a known problem with text effects, just the FETBubbles effect, or have I maybe missed something?

There are many ways to to what you described and I can't give you an apropiate without seeing the files first. Please attach your fla file and I will try to fix it.
