Movie clip within a movie clip not working

Hi everyone,

I have made a movie clip which can be dragged on stage. This dragable movie clip in turn contains a text box and two scroll buttons. The scroll buttons should scroll the text in the text box. When I publish the movie, the parent movie clip can be dragged but the scroll buttons nested inside it do not work. Doesn’t flash support interactive nested movie clips. If not, does any one know of any other way to achieve this result?

Cheers!

you can't assign mouse handlers to a parent movieclip and expect a child movieclip to respond to mouse events: the parent will intercept those events.

to remedy, either assign all your mouse handlers on the child generation movieclips or use a hitTest() for one of the generations.
