Hi erveryone,

I have a small problem, im trying to figure out how to apply a mouse listener to one movie clip. Why do i need to do that?

I call an external swf into my main. Both have mouse listeners and both resemble each other where i hide the mouse to do specific tasks so i wanna activate the one i need. for example if i am on the external swf then i can only run that mouse listener otherwise listen to the mouse listener on the main.

Hope it makes sense.

Thanks for any help.

Jerome
