Hover Effect Follows My Mouse Everywhere After it's Loaded

Question

Hi,
I've created the hover effect in a movie clip (called
characters_mc) and placed it on another movie clip (main_mc) and
this main_mc is placed on my main timeline. I would like the hover
effect to display only on the characters_mc but the hover effect
applies to everything else on the scene (when the characters_mc is
loaded). The hover effect follows my mouse after the characters_mc
is loaded.
Here is the AS I have placed on the main_mc:
b1.onRollOver = function() {
_root.captionFN(true, "pick me!", this); //display the
function (true) or to hide the function (false)
this.onRollOut = function() {
captionFN(false);
b2.onRollOver = function() {
_root.captionFN(true, "Hi!", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
captionFN(false);
b3.onRollOver = function() {
_root.captionFN(true, "Get Jac'd Up!", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
captionFN(false);
b4.onRollOver = function() {
_root.captionFN(true, "Boo!", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
captionFN(false);
b5.onRollOver = function() {
_root.captionFN(true, "I'll be your guide", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
captionFN(false);
b6.onRollOver = function() {
_root.captionFN(true, "Welcome!", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
captionFN(false);
_root.captionFN = function (showCaption, captionText, bName)
if (showCaption) {
createEmptyMovieClip("hoverCaption",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
cap.desc.text = captionText;
cap._width = 7*cap.desc.text.length;
cap._alpha = 75;
if ((bName._width+bName._x+cap._width)>Stage.width) {
xo = -2-cap._width;
yo = -17;
} else {
xo = 2;
yo = -17;
hoverCaption.onEnterFrame = function() {
cap._x = _xmouse+xo;
cap._y = _ymouse+yo;
cap._visible = true;
} else {
delete hoverCaption.onEnterFrame;
cap._visible = false;
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know other related
topics have been posted and I have read them, but nothing seems to
help my problem. Sorry if this seems redundant but I would really
appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks

Have you tried resetting the PMU?
The PMU (Power Management Unit) controls trackpad function, so resetting it often helps when the trackpad isn't working (or isn't working right).
