Listeners for nested MCs whose parent has a listener?

[jlizarraga]

Hi all,

I use the following AS2 to play/rewind MCs as your mouse moves over or off the MC:

function someFunction(obj) {
	if (obj.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true) && obj._currentframe<obj._totalframes) {
		obj.nextFrame();
	}
	if (!obj.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true) && obj._currentframe>1) {
		obj.prevFrame();
	}
}

I assign this function to MCs with the following:

_root.someMC.onEnterFrame = function () {
	someFunction(this);
}

This causes any listeners for nested MCs within someMC to stop working.

Does anyone know how to get around this? Thanks for any responses!

Flash doesn't support nested mouse events. If you want to access mouse events on an object within an object, you'll have to delete the mouse event on the parent.
