draw the button, select it and press F8 or go to insert\>Convert to symbol.  
Type the name of the symbol and choose button.  
(you can double-click it to change the up,down,hit statements if ya want.)  
right-click the button and select actions

on(release) {  
yourmovieclip.gotoAndPlay(#frame);  
}

copy and paste the actions above  
change “yourmovieclip” to the hierarchy of the movieclips where you’ve got the mc you want to play  
(e.g. \_root.movie.myanim.gotoAndPlay(#))  
change “#frame” to the frame which you want to start playing from (e.g. gotoAndPlay(2))
