Issues with a dropdown menu

Hi all what I'm trying to do is a flash menu which in some points has a dropdown sub-menu which comes out on mouseover and contains elements which if clicked link to other pages. Point is that these elements contained in this sub menu when clicked actually do nothing...!


Here is what I did:

placed the menu the way I wanted, converted this images to Movie Clip, double clicked, added 4 layers (one for the actions, one for an alpha interpolation, one for the dropdown menu's background and one for this sub-menu element)

action I added was:

stop ();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
}
}
this.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
}
this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
}

created some motion tween between the frames I wanted to contain an animation

now I converted this sub menu Item into a movie clip and called it "sickest"

and I added this action at the end of the parent movie clip:

sickest.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://somesite.com","_blank");
}




Result is that is just not linking to anywhere!

In other words: how can I create an element linking to somehwere from INSIDE the content of a movie clip?

here r some screenshots in case you need them to understand better:

I hope what I'm asking is clear enough

Thanks for the time
