Awful Question -- Keyframe Movieclips

Hey Everyone,

I have a movieclip that has about 10 different “states”. All of these states have some text and 1, 2 or 3 buttons.

I have created a class for this movieclip and jumping between the states is simple using gotoAndStops(), but I can’t figure out how to access the different buttons…

Using this.getChildbyName() in the constructor returns nothing. Using the same inside the methods that “gotoAndStop”, also do nothing.

Can anyone PLEASE help me out? Such a simple question I am sure, but I am totally lost at the moment!

Thanks,
