Parent disabled but keep child enabled?

Hello

I have parent movie clip that loads child SWF when clicked.
Once the parent MC is clicked, I disable it so it can´t be clicked again.
But since the child swf has some button on it, I can´t make it clickable, because the main movie clip is now disabled.

If I have to change the way it works, it will give me some days of extra work because the site is almost finished, but have found this error just now.

Is there a way to enable the child movieclip and keep the main movieclip disabled?

Thanks
