Buttons inside movie clips...HELP

I have a flash piece that I am working on, and it has a total of 6 scenes. I have simple arrows that let you navagate from screne to scene, but I also have a jump to menu that appears as well. THe jump to menu is a movie that I made and put into each timeline of each scene. Now the roll overs of the buttons for the pop up menu work fine. But what I can’t get to work is the action scripting, I just want each button to go to that scene and play. I think I have to use the root. to make this work but I’m not really sure. Any help would be great!
Thanks
