Thanks for all the answers!!! So I went back to a solution where the upper MovieClip listens to the MouseMove event and hittest while the lower MovieClip is using Rollover now. That works for me. But nonetheless it is frustrating that there is no other way to get an ROLLOVER event for two or even more overlapping siblings other than hittesting them all. When it comes to performance - hittests are usually more cpu intensive than rollovers, right?
