Heres what im working with;

scrolling movieclip that consists of 12 individual movieclips that all have instance names. I’m trying to link these movieclips to events that needs to happen on the main timeline.

lost1\_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, scroll30);  
function scroll30(event:MouseEvent): void

{  
gotoAndPlay(“lost\_mc”);  
}
