Drop down confusion

Okay, here is my problem, i’m making a drop down menu, which i have done many times before using the the tutorial on this site…no problem…but this time, the button that spawns the menu is a mc, because it’s animated…so it has actions like:

[AS]
on(rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay(“over”);
}

on(rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay(“out”);
}
[/AS]

so how can i spawn a menu out of a button that already has effects and actions on it?? if anyone could post a simple example, that would help a ton, thanks
