I have a single main movieclip which contains 2 other movieclips within it. Currently I have an onRelease function on the main mc in which I use hitTest to determine whether I click on one of the 2 inner mcs. Now, I’m trying to have a graphic appear when someone rolls over either of the inner mcs.  
I have the following code:

```auto

filterCover_mc.onRollOver = function() {
 with (_global.stateManager) {
  if (this.allScrews_mc.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
   trace("hi");
   screwHilightOn();
   trace("bye");
  } else if (this.allBolts_mc.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
   screwHilightOn();
  }
 }
};

```

Hopefully, the code is self-explanatory. filterCover\_mc is the main outer mc and allScrews and allBolts are the inner movieclips. However, I never receive the text hi or bye when I roll over allScrews.
