The simple answer is, you can't. Parent button events always override
child button events. What you're looking for is event bubbling, which is
not natively supported in AS2.
Here are some links to get you started on that:

Hi. My question is how do you access events of clips that are nested
inside of other clips with event handlers attached. Lets say you have
clip A that has an onRollOver event handled. Within clip A, you have
clip B and clip C both of which you want onRollOver/onRelease/ect events
handled. Since the onRollOver state of clip A is being fired, it blocks
the event of clip B or C's events from ever being fired. How do you get
around this?
example
clipA.onRollOver = function(){
doSomething();
}
clipA.clipB.onRollOver = function(){
doSomethingElse();
}
