I had a movieclip which contained a button in it exported as “mc”.  
Then I attach this movie clip onto the stage using: \_root.attachMovie(“mc”, “link1”, 1);

But i couldn’t find it with AS. I mean, how can i refer to the button inside the movieclip after I attach it onto the stage using attachMovie?

Thanks alot.
