Parent/child movie clips

ok so i have a problem, i am relatively new to actionscript, my situation is:

  1. i have all my actions in its own layer on the main timeline, so all is well there
  2. i have a movie clip with a rollOver and rollOut events attached to it
  3. inside the movie clip when the rollover happens and the movieclip stops at a certain frame, i have another movieclip that appears. the movie clip is a link to a website, it works properly on the main timeline but without the proper actionscript it of course will not work inside its parent movie clip

how do i fix this?
