I have an as3 flash banner that uses a shell to subload a .swf. The shell contains a movieclip that covers the entire swf as a clicktag button. The subload has a seperate call to action button. I need both of them to be clickable and dispatch seperate events. Normally I would just put the cta button on a layer above the clicktag, but because the cta is in the subload I can’t do that. The clicktag will always be on top. Is there a way to have overlapping buttons both be functional. Right now only the top clicktag button is working.

Thanks for any help!
