(oops, man it's early, it's AS2... bleh..) When you add a rollover to a parent, it blocks all children of that mc from receiving rollOver calls since it is a part of the mc who's already received that call. So what I do is create a hitTest for the parent and then a onRollover for the children. ht

Another solution: Don't assign any events to the parent. Instead, create a child for that parent and delegate that childs mouse events to the parent. Just make sure that child has the lowest depth of the children. I think this will give you the expected behavior. Hope that helps, H On 8/24/07,
