Cannot seem to cover mc.onRollOver with another mc?

1

Hello…

I have built an onRollOver event handler on a movie clip called test:

test.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}

This works fine, but if I put another movieclip on top of the test clip, the test clip’s onRollOver area is still hot? Is this just the way it goes? Does anybody know how I can remedy the problem?

I have attached a very simple fla with my files. In it, you will see two squares (one on top of another). The one on the bottom has the rollover effect. If I happen to be in its area but over the other clip, the bottom clip is still active. Like my top mc is “transparent”.

I assume I could assign an onRollOver event handler to the top clip that does nothing, but this doesnt seem like a very elegant solution.

Thanks.
