inside the movieclip, select the button, open up the actionscript window and apply the follwing code
```auto
on(release){
_root.mc._x = 50;//replace mc with the name of your MC, and replace the current coordinate with your x coordinate.
_root.mc._y = 80;//replace mc with the name of your MC, and replace the current coordinate with your y coordinate.
}
```
good luck
