I have a \_parent movieclip that receives mouse events and I want the clips inside the \_parent clip (child clips) to receive mouse events also, but because of the \_parent’s mouse event handlers, the child clips are “interfered” with, or not received…

how do I make it so both the \_parent and the child clips can receive mouse events?
