I have a simple button in an AS3 flash file. The button contains text and a
MovieClip (with a single frame). In the over state, I want to put a filter on
the MovieClip. This works as expected with the Enable Simple Buttons in Flash
but when I test the movie, the filter doesn't show up in the over state. It
shows up in the "down" state, but not over.

Here's the kicker, though: if I move the MovieClip in the over state, even by
just one pixel, then the filter shows up. If I filter the text, or change
anything else about the over state, that all works - it's just the filter on
this MovieClip.

Has anyone experienced the same thing and come up with a solution? It's very,
very weird.

I had a kind of experience with a simple button.
Look if it makes a differents if you mouseover the textfield and if
you mouseover de button clip.
Also trace(event.target.name) so you can see wich item really is
triggerd.
I guess the soultion is to set :

nameOfYourMovieClip.mouseChildren = false;

Thanks to Anggie B.
