is there a way to disable a movie clip with multiple buttons nested into it ?

for example, i have a movie clip with 5 button clips nested, when press a button on the root timeline, i need that movie clip with nested buttons to be disabled,

i know i can target each button with enabled = false; - in this case i will need to target each button

but i am just trying to find out if there is a easier way to save time, i mean by targeting only 1 clip

?
