Hi,  
I have a draggable menu movie clip I am attaching over the rest of the contents on stage. The problem is, whenever the menu is over a button, the user can still activate that button by clicking on the part of the menu over the button. I have attached a small movie to demonstrate what I am talking about. Anyone have any idea on how to prevent buttons under a movieclip from working and even registering?
