\>i want the button on release go to frame 37

Which time line? The following will move the main timeline to frame 37 if a button inside a movie called myMovieClip is clicked.

```auto

myMovieClip.myButton.onRelease=function(){
gotoAndStop(37);
}

```

Make sure all your movies/buttons have instance names in the properties panel
