Hello!  
I’ve used attachMovie to get an MC onto the stage. now my problem is that there are buttons on that mc but i don’t know how to click on them using AS

here’s my code

[AS]  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“tmp”,1);  
tmp.attachMovie(“myMc”,“myMc2”,1);

```auto

the movieclip is attached but then when i try to get access of the buttons like this,

```

tmp.go.onRelease = function() {  
doStuff;  
}

```auto

where "go" is the instance name of the button, it wont work.

I've also tried typing myMc2.onRelease and that wont work either...
So how do I solve this one???
```
