I did a search here and found 2 discussion topics kinda-sorta related but not direct enough. In AS2, I think, I could put a movie clip over a button and the button would still work. In AS3 (Flash CC) the buttons become inoperable. Design-wise I want a movie clip to animate over the buttons. Is there a workaround for this? Am I missing something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Your observation of the difference between AS2 and AS3 behaviors is correct. IF you want to have thebuttons be active while the movieclip is over them then you can try disabling the movieclip's mouse interactibility by using....
mcName.mouseEnabled = false;
mcName.mouseChildren = false;
where "mcName" gets replaced with the instance name of your movieclip.

Holy Cow! Soooo easy it's embarrassing. I worked around it by creating a button with the movie in it and no hit-zone. That worked too but was clumsy. This is perfect. Hats-off to you sir. Thanks.
