A silly question but then, I can’t find any answer to it…  
On my library I have 2 movieclips: container (linkage:container) and bt1(linkage:bt1, only a button), I dropped bt1 on the container’s stage, now in order to display it I go:

```auto

var myMenu:menu = new menu();
    addChild(myMenu);
    myMenu.x = 250;
    myMenu.y = 150;

```

Now the question, how do I acces the bt1 within the myMenu?? because this doesn’t work:

```auto

myMenu.bt1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
    function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent)
    {        
    }
    
}

```
