MC inside MC, no response

Hi all,

I have a simple nav made by attaching MC’s (btn\_mc)from the library. The MC’s that are attached contain a base\_mc and two MC 's on top of the base\_mc that act as buttons. I wanted the whole MC to have a rollover effect but then still have the two MC buttons inside to still be clickable, so I changed the base\_mc alpha on rollover and then changed it back on rollout. If I do it this way the two MC inside aren’t clickable, but if I take away the alpha change on the base\_mc the two MC work.  
Does anyone know a way around this or know of another way I can do this.

```auto

changeColor = function (tar, col) {
	banColor = new Color(tar);
	banColor.setRGB(col);
};
//--------------------
// Load XML
//--------------------
cart_xml = new XML();
cart_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
cart_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
	if (success) {
		cart();
	} else {
		trace("cart xml not loaded");
	}
};
cart_xml.load("cart.xml");
cart = function () {
	proNames = cart_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
	for (var i = 0; i<proNames.length; i++) {
		fontInfo = proNames*;
		buy = Holder_mc.attachMovie("btn_mc", "btn_mc"+i, i+1);
		buy.useHandCursor = false;
		buy._y = 26*i;
		buy.idcolor = fontInfo.attributes.color;
		buy.name = fontInfo.attributes.name;
		buy.name_txt.text = buy.name;
		buy.one_mc.onRollOver = function() {
			trace(this.buy.name+"ONE");
		};
		buy.two_mc.onRollOver = function() {
			trace("TWO");
		};
		changeColor(buy.base_mc, buy.idcolor);
		// 
		if (buy.name != "ONE" && buy.name != "TWO") {
			buy.base_mc._alpha = 50;
			buy.onRollOver = function() {
				this.base_mc._alpha = 100;
			};
			buy.onRollOut = function() {
				this.base_mc._alpha = 50;
			};
			buy.onRelease = function() {
				trace(this.name);
			};
		}
	}
};

```
