HI All…

following scenario:

I add an mc as a container stick another mc inside for the navigation bar  
and place a “button” mc inside that.  
so:

```auto
 root1 [object WB_X]
     NaviBox [object MovieClip]
         Navi [object Helm_mc]
            [object Shape]
             Home [object Btn_1]
                [object Shape]

```

NaviBox: listens for MOUSE\_OVER, on which Navibox and all content moves.  
Navi: is just pretty but has no real purpose in this…  
Home: is the “button” listening for MOUSE\_UP

all dandy… NOT!?

NaviBox responds to MOUSE\_OVER fine and does its thing, BUT  
as soon as you MOUSE\_OVER the Home “Button” it triggers the tween to reverse  
NaviBox.

I’ve tried all different nesting orders I could think of  
and tried all parameters for the addEventListener and lots of other nasty things  
that are too private to elaborate in public,  
I am not getting ANYWHERE and frankly… my brain hurts.  
please can some one put me out of my misery?  
Code here:
