flash actionscript: Cant get my button to function inside of a movie clip.

The movieclip works fine, in that my tweens function how i want them to. The problem is that when the arrow rolls over the my button inside of my movie clip it doesnt act like a button.
the button does not have it's own rollover functions. I tried making the button into a movie but it still does not work. I'm essentially trying to make a drop down menu. Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to make the button function inside of movie clip.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH...................

Do not make the button into a movie...

Three possibility that I can think of:
a) your button is under or over a dynamic text area, that will stop it to work.
b) try (by clicking to the button at design time to get to the 4 state of the button and insert a keyframe (key f6) over the hit section in the timeline then dray a square over the area you want the button to work.
Check also if the instance of the button is still a button in the propriety panel.

Hope this helps...

I am doing the same thing in a site I am working on. What I did was create a
MC "holder" for the group of buttons. I created the buttons separately first
with their rollover animations, etc., then placed them into the MC holder.
My only problem is getting the AS on those buttons to work...
