Just imagine: we have two MovieClips **A** and **b**. **A** - is a parent, **b** - is a child (inside **A** ).

First you see only **A**. When you hover your mouse over **A** (MOUSE\_OVER), **b** appears. It works like a pop-up mechanism - you hover over **A** (some invisible area), **b** appears, you take mouse out of **A** (MOUSE\_OUT) - **b** disappears.

**Problem** : when I hover mouse over **A** and reach **b** , **A** thinks that I’ve leaved the region and plays MOUSE\_OVER animation.

I’ve tried to use: buttonMode, enableMouse and mouseChildren - but It wouldn’t work.

Any ideas? :stormtrooper:
