I have a mostly transparent clip floating over my movie and it it getting the mouse clicks instead of the buttons below it. How do I either disable this top clip from getting the click event, or pass the event on to the buttons underneath?

I figure I could have a event listener on the stage that does a hit test to trigger a button, but I know there must be a more direct way to do this. Yes?
