put a button in your mc on the top layer and give it some AS like:

on(rollOut){this.gotoAndPlay(“yourframelabel”)};

that is if you want to go to frames in that same mc.

If you want to control another mc or go to frames in your main timeline just  
reference what timeline you want to control like this:

on(rollOut){\_root.anothermc.gotoAndPlay(“myframelabel”);

hope that helps
