Hey Guys,

I have a hard time catching the mouse click on the movieclips that I want to act on. I have 2 layers on the main timeline: 1) text label (wrapped in a MC) and 2) 2 movieclips that I want to catch the click event from.

In actionscript 2.0, it is really easy. I only need to set the onRelease function for the 2 movieclips. I can just ignore the text. This way, I can catch the click action on the movieclips that i set onRelease for with my mouse over text. But, now, I can’t. Because if I click with my mouse over the text, the returned target is the text.

My question is how can I do to ignore the mouse click event for my labels?

I have attached the fla

Thanks,

Justin
