Im in the process of greating a shooting game, and one of the steps involved is having a button inside of movieclip. However, when I do this I get the error

**Error** Symbol=enemy, layer=hit, frame=60:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances  
on(release) { score=score+1; }

any ideas on how to fix this
