I wanna know if there is some way to disable action placed on the movie clip without scripting to that clip directly? For example if I have mc\_1 with hitTest action on it, and I have another movie clip mc\_2 with its own hitTest action ovarlaping mc\_1, is it possible to trigger only mc\_2 hittest without triggering hitTest action of mc\_1 (should be something like mc\_2.disableAllHittestsUnderThisClip() :))

PS. Please don’t tell me something like mc\_1.onEnterFrame=null , or something similar because I don’t know mc\_1 name (dynamic content)
