Hi, just wondering is it possible for a button in a mov clip to target a particular frame in another movie clip?

I have my mov clips placed in a layer on the main stage, and one in a frame(frame label MC1) and another in the next frame(frame label MC2). In MC2, I have a button I would like to gotoAndPlay say frame 10. So far, I’ve only managed to get it to play the mov clip I want by doing this for my button.

on (release){  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“MC1”);  
}

Any help would be great, thanks!
