movie clip buttons, no trace

[iank2z]

I have a movie clip on the main timeline which is acting as a button, in the over state of that mc button are 3 regular buttons, which appear on mouseover the mc button, but do not hilite, and will not respond to a trace.

If the movieclip is acting as a button then a button cant work inside of a buton can it?

Welcome to the forums! :)

Once you apply certain actions to a movieclip (usually those associated with button-like effects) you cannot place buttons or other movieclips acting as buttons inside that movieclip. You should use hitTest to activate the parent movieclip's animation.
