I didn’t really know how to search for an answer to this so I thought i’d just ask.

I have some MovieClips with mouse linteners, but if I mouse out of a movieclip instantly on to another one the 2nd movieclips MOVE\_OVER event doesn’t fire.

Is there a work arround for this? If you don’t know what i’m talking about the flash can be found here [http://clearlyunique.net/index.php](http://clearlyunique.net/index.php)

Try mousing from one movieclip to another without hitting the background and the tooltip wont show up.

I was thinking of finding the movieclip i’m over by looking at the x and y position of the mouse and comparing that to the x y and z of all the movieclips but i’m hoping theres an easier way. :o
