Button inside MC problem

programming flash

I know similar things have been asked before. I have looked at some of them and still can’t get it to work. I have a button inside a movieclip but it is on a a later frame, frame6. Should I try to reference the button from the main timeline?


mcTheMan.btnNewGame.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleNewGame);

function handleNewGame(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
 mcTheMan.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
