Buttons to control flv component

Hi everyone…Noob here…

Im sure this is simple,

I have two movie clips on the stage. One of a chalkboard with buttons nested inside, the other is of a tv with a flv playback component in it. The tv’s instance name is “television” and the instance name of the flv component is “myVideo”. I want the buttons on the chalkboard to control the flv component in the tv upon a mouse click.

I thought it would be as easy as creating an event listener for each button and the under function say and target the tv. (instance name.flvcomponent instance name. source)

television.myvideo.source = “videos/clip1.flv”;

Where is my fail? Should I put the buttons elsewhere?

I appreciate all the help! Just learning programming and action script.
