Infinite menu

I can’t get my buttons to respond within my infinite menu. I see the problem I just don’t know how to fix it. The .fla is too large too upload so I’ll try to explain: I’ve created an infinite menu using a tutorial found on this site. My finished menu is a mc containing another mc that contains my buttons. When I create a command for the buttons, the buttons will only function within the mc they’re located. They won’t work for the scene at large. For example: below my timeline indicates what scenes and/or symbols i’m working with. Mine reads < scene:face mc:menu_guide mc:menu. How do I get buttons within a sub mc to work for the larger scene? Please help.
