I’m having a hard time getting some nested movie clips to respond to an onRollOver event.

given:

\_root.game\_mc.gameVenueBtn\_mc

game\_mc will respond to onRollOver, but the gameVenueBtn\_mc will not. If I change gameVenue\_mc to a button, the hand cursor appears when it is over, but still no onRollOver event.

Can somebody please explain the simple rules about how nested movieClips identify the onRollOver?

Thanks for any help in advance!
