Hey there, wondering if anyone could help me with this please?

I have a movieclip that has selectable text / scroll bar / other buttons etc - What I would like is to have an onRollOver / RollOut event to call a function on the entire movieclip, however when I do this - The entire movieclip is treated as a button and I cannot select the text nor click the scroll bar / other movieclip buttons within this movieclip.

Is there a way to set the onrollover / rollout to execute a function without having the movieclip itself turn into a button / stop functioning?

Cheers,  
Ryan
