I have two movie clips physically overlapping, one nested inside the other:

[COLOR=Green]green[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=Blue]green.blue[/COLOR]

an onRollOver function is included in each movie clip. I can get the onRollOver function to execute for the parent clip ([COLOR=Green]green[/COLOR]), but cannot get the function within the nested clip ([COLOR=Blue]blue[/COLOR]) to work.

Attached is an .fla document with an example of my problem. Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
