i’m not sure exactly what you mean, but lets say you have an outer movieclip called mc1, and one inside of that called mc2, then your actions on the button would be…

[AS]  
on(rollOver) {  
\_root.mc1.mc2.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
[/AS]

if its just one mc you need to play on rollOver then it would be  
[AS]  
on(rollOver) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
[/AS]  
or  
[AS]  
on(rollOver) {  
\_root.mc1.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
[/AS]
