[ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0, FLASH 8.0]

Hi guys,  
I’m creating a menu that on rollover eases from its resting position to a more accessible point on the page. The menu is a movieclip and within it i want to have buttons that control the timeline. The buttons however do not work as buttons when in the movie clip. is there anyway to make flash identify them as buttons within a movie clip?  
thank you,
