I have a Movieclip (“mc”) in a parent movieclip(“parent\_mc”)  
When the mouse rolls on mc its name gets recorded in a variable(“hovered”) and a function (“RollOver()”) gets executed. According to the function \_root[hovered] should play. But the problem is that mc is in parent\_mc. So how can I execute the code now?
