Cant press buttons inside mc

on my main scene, i have created a button. when you roll over it i have put this code

on(rollOver) { 
          tellTarget("/house")    { 
          gotoAndStop("up"); 
                                              } 
                    } 
    
   on(rollOut) { 
      function wait() {                
    tellTarget("house") { 
      gotoAndStop( 1 ); 
   } 
   clearInterval(myTimer); 
} 
myTimer = setInterval(wait, 9000); // calls the function after 1 second 


} 

ok well, as you hover over it telltargets a movieclip called “house” this is my menu. inside my house mc, there is two frames,
frame 1 : blank with a stop();
frame 2 : menu with buttons with “onGotoAndPlay( frame );”

the problem is when i test it, i hover over the button on(rollOver)
the movieclip “house” is telltargetted, and the frame label “up” is displayed – frame 2

this is my menu, the buttons react (the cursor changes when you go over them", i cant click them though because their actions arent working

how can i correct this problem ? or get round it ?
