Hi,

I’ve created a movieclip and placed it onto the stage. In this movieclip I’ve created another movieclip.

On the root I placed this peace of code:

```auto

stop();
_root.test.onRelease = function() { trace("outer"); }
_root.test.testje2.onRelease = function() { trace("inner"); }

```

The problem is that when you click on the ‘root’ mc outer is traced but when you click on testje2 placed in test, nothing happens.

Is there a solution for this problem?
