Skipping Scenes using MC style buttons

Ok ive got some Movieclips that i want to act as buttons. All they need to do is when pressed to skip my swf to another scene…

im using the actions…

on (release){
gotoAndStop(“myscene”, 1);
}

which works on buttons fine but not on a MC style buttons… ive tried _root and also labeling my frames but nothing…

any ideas? … is it possible

ive attached an example for you to see what im talking about
