Hi guys… I am trying to make a simple menu but I am stuck, I am sure that I’m over complicating things so here I am asking to the people I know can help me… the problem is that I am trying to put actions to a mc that’s inside of another mc, the thing is that the parent one has a roll over action… so is there any way to make flash see that I am trying to click the child mc instead of the parent one?? Here’s the fla in case I’m not being clear enough…

I tried to overcome this problem using a mouse event to trigger the first mc, then that mc triggers the other one, and that way I can add the actions that I want to the nested mc… the problem with this is that once the mouse gets out of the specified zone I can’t make the mc to go to a closing state… here’s the code I’m using any suggesting or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advanced…

```auto
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
	_root.main_y = _root._ymouse;
	_root.main_x = _root._xmouse;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (_root.main_y<360 || _root.main_y>450 || _root.main_x>652) {
		this.gotoAndPlay("opening");
		menuop == 2;
	} else {
		menuop == 1;
	}
	if (menuop==2) {
		this.gotoAndPlay("closing");
	}
}

```
