Movie Clip Event Handler block button event handlers

Hello - really needing some help!

I have a movie clip that contains a button. (i.e. my_mc.my_btn)

I have some event handlers for the movie clip (my_mc.onRollOut, my_mc.onRelease, etc..) and they are working fine.

However, after I add these event handlers to deal with the movie clip, my buttons inside my movie clip quit working all together. It's like the movie clip handlers are overridding the button functionality.

How can I use movie clip handlers and my buttons inside continue to work?

Help!

You're right, parent events are overriding, or stealing, the events of nested children. See this article for ways to deal with that: http://www.senocular.com/flash/tutorials/buttoncapturing/.
