OK here's the deal I have a movie clip acting as a 3 state button (3 frames: over, off, down) nested on the second frame of a movie clip.

The idea is the outer movie clip shows something, when you rollover it it goes to the second frame that has the 3 state button, which should react to the mouse rollover and click

My code is in the root time line. "mac" is the parent MC on the root time line, "mm4v" is the child movie clip on the second frame.

The first part (green) works, the second par (red) dose not.
any ideas why?

mac.onRollOver = function() {
mac.gotoAndStop("over");
};

mac.mm4v.onRollOver = function() {
trace ("good")
mac.mm4v.gotoAndStop("over");
};
