Mc inside mc navigation issue

Hi there,

I have a movieclip(mc1) with a movieclip(mc2) inside it.

I have made a class for mc1 that makes the movieclip slide out from the left side when it is hovered over, and then it slides back when your mouse leaves the movieclip.

That part works fine, until I add mc2 inside mc1. The slide works for the most part, but if I happen to hover over mc2 mc1 slides back. I want it to stay open (because mc2 will eventually be used as a button and mc1 is like the navigation bar).

any thoughts on what I need to do?

thanks in advance
