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!
