I made a textfield inside movieclip  
Movieclip name is ‘mc’ and textfield name is ‘txt’

mc  
----txt

I wrote as following code.

* * *

mc.sound = “1”  
mc.addEventListener(“click”,onClick\_mc)  
mc.buttonMode = true

## function onClick\_mc(event) { trace(event.target.sound); }

when I clicked on mc area without txtField area, it worked ok.  
but when I clicked txtfield area which was in movieclip area, it had error…  
Also buttomMode attribute not work in textfield area

Anybody help me…please…
