Hello, i need to find a way to add actions to both a parent and child clip.  
I ultimately need the entire nav to zoom in when rolled over, and the clips inside the nav have an onRelease function assigned. Any suggestions?

You will need to use a method called event bubbling. Senocular has a great tutorial on it.
