Movieclip buttons

ok…

i have a movieclip i converted into a button and its called “begin_btn”

this is my movieclip layout from the main timeline…

panel–>panelAnimation–>begin_btn

the button works FINE when its not nested in the other movieclips…

what do i need to do to the parent movieclips to make the button work when i put it in there? i have the correct target path cause i can trace things and go to different frames inside the begin_btn…it just wont behave as a button when it’s nested or take a mouse up event listener.

the begin_btn has buttonMode = true; mouseChildren = false; and it works outside the movieclip…

i can’t have the parent movieclips act as buttons…

PLEASE HELP!

THANKS!
