Depth mouse overs

Hey im busy with a interactive flash movie, the movie has a lot of mouse over effects, but im having a problem, i have a border which enables you to scroll with a mouseover and a visual effect on the mouse over. Under it are multiple portions with a mouseover aswell. Whenever i hover them its ignored when im hovering above the border.

Is there a way for actionscript 3 to detect multiple mouseovers and use a function simultaneously?

Another problem im having is: the visual mouse over effect of the border is in a seperate movieclip then the movieclips that are used to move in a direction when the mouse hovers above it.

When i switch the direction im moving the other movieclip with the visual effect for the border restarts (while i have been hovering over that movieclip whole the time)

I hope im making some sense:cubs:
