Text input inside mc inside mc inside mc

hey guys i’ve got a problem…

i have two text inputs (username and password) on the first frame of the mc “side_content”. that mc is inside a sliding side bar mc called “side”. that mc is part of the main page mc, “main”, which is on the main timeline. whenever i preview, i can’t see the input boxes (i have the text border turned on, text type = input), but when i rollover where they should be the arrow turns to the cursor, but i can’t click and type anything…

any suggestions?
