button inside movie won't react to rollOver

Dewdan Jan 28, 2008 1:56 PM

Hi there,
I am developing a sort of panorama movie where the image scrolls around. That is working but when I try to set some hotspots on it by adding buttons in the movieClip I can't get them to react to rollOver action since (onRelease and onPress) it is already used by the main movieClip.
Any idea on a work around?
I have been reading for 4 hours and can't find a good solution.

use a loop and hitTest().

i am not expert coder so I have make a movie clip to the Mouse so I startDrag() and use the hit test to change the status of my Buton.mc.
But i am still unnable to use on(press), and all the other mouse functions because they are use by the main movieClip

if you would be so kind and explain me how to do that or a link to some tutorial I would really appreciate.

you must remove all mouse handlers assigned to all ancestor movieclips. use a loop and hittests to replace all those mouse handlers that you removed.

for example:
