Overlapping movieclips not working with setProperty

button rollover not working properly

My page (at present) consists of one button, one graphic, and three separate movie clips. These movie clips are slightly overlapping at the corners...
I set the button to change the alpha of movieclip #1 to 30 on rollover, and set it back 100 on rollout. This works - BUT it changes the alpha of all three mc's AND strangely, the graphic as well (even though all have unique instance names, and my setProperty statement includes only the name of mc #1). When I move mc#1 away from the other objects on the page, all works perfectly.

Any idea why, when things overlap, my setProperty call affects all three mc's + the graphic? Is there a way I can get this to work?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, epicXproblem!

It sounds like the setProperty is being inherited the the other movieclips somehow. Are they related in any way? Instances of the same object perhaps?
