I guess the group's background behavior is set to true. So if an 
event (mouseUp for example) is not handled in the button, it will be 
passed to the group (background).

Depending on circumstances, you can do one of the following:

-- turn off "backgroundBehavior" in the group

--  in the group script, enclose handlers with a condition like this:

on mouseUp
   if the owner of the target is me then
    ##normal stuff here
   end if
end mouseUp

--  catch the events in the non-grouped objects (probably not such a 
practical approach)
