Button usage on conditional events

Hi all

I have created two buttons which in turn control two movieclips

button A controls the fade in and out properties of called “content”
button B controls the fade in and out properties of called “content2”

I have been able to tell button A to fade out the movieclip called “content”
and then to fade in the movieclip called “content2”

I can also tell button B to fade out the movieclip called “content2”
and then to fade in the movieclip called “content”

What I am struggling to do is when you FIRST press either button at the start to just play that buttons specific movieclip e.g

button A = mc_content
button B = mc_content2

I know that I am needing a conditional statement of some sort but I got no clue on how to approach it. Any help, advice examples etc would be very helpful to me

thanks all
