How to access a container with the help of a button inside it

Could someone please help, I’ve created several frames, and buttons inside them. With the click on a button inside a frame, I need to highlight the frame. Could someone please tell me how to access the whole movie clip with the click on a button that is a part of it (what keyword, syntax etc) . The button is a part of the frame (same movie clip) and this has to be done with the help of this button (not by adding an event listener on the whole movie clip);
