yep, you will have to create a background movieclip that has the onPress/OnRelease methods.
You can do someting to 'fake' what you were trying to do initially though - when you create a background movieclip inside your container with the onPress onRelease methods, if you set the hitArea to _parent it will appear as though the events are on the original container movie. Whats wierd is that the smaller movieclips inside the container will trigger the onPress/OnRelease events of the background movieclip if they have no onPress/OnRelease events of their own.
