Nested mc events issue

[font=Tahoma]I am having quite the issue with nested movie clip events. I currently have 1 movieclip, I add as many as 6 more movieclips to it from my library. These 6 movieclips are all linked through a class that I wrote. The problem there is that I need all of the events to work with the outer and inner movie clips. I read somewhere that the outer mc’s events takes precedence over the inner mc’s. That’s pretty much unacceptable. What I need to do is disable the outer mc’s events when the user needs to use the inner mc’s events. I would be able to know when the user needs to use those 6 inner movieclips. Therefore, is there a way to disable/enable movie clip events? And would that solve my issue?[/font]

[font=Tahoma]Any help is appreciated,[/font]
