#initclip

function slot(){}  
slot.prototype=new MovieClip();

slot.prototype.onPress = function (){  
trace(“testing”);   
}

Object.registerClass(“item”,slot);

#endinitclip

I have a button (with mouseOver states) inside a movieClip [item], after assigning the \<slot\> class to [item] and overwriting the movieclip’s onPress function, when ever the mouse rollover the button, it no longers displays the mouseOver state.

Any idea how I can overwrite the onPress function and have the mouseOver work at the same time?

Thanks (^.^;
