Hey All,

I’ve got two mc’s on my main timeline. They are treated like tabs. If I click on one, the focus is =1 if I click on the other it tabs and its’ focus is now =1.

My problem…I placed a button inside one of the movie clips, but when I tab to the other mc, the icon changes to a hand (the traditional pointer icon for being over buttons). Why is this and how can I fix this problem?

GOAL:  
To be able to put appropriate buttons inside each movie clip, but each button to ONLY be accessible within their respected mc.

Thanks.
