Buttons in a Movie clip inside a Scroll Pane Component - AS2

I have a scrollpane instance named myScroller in a swf.  It is linked to a movieclip named media.  Inside the movieclip are buttons that do not work when they are inside the scrollpane.  One button is named "morris" so I tried putting code on the timeline for the movieclip.

this.morris.onRelease= function():Void {

          _level8._visible=true;

          _level8.gotoAndStop(2);

}

this did not work - I tried putting it on the main timeline - above the scrollpane -

myScroller.morris.onRelease= function():Void {

          _level8._visible=true;

          _level8.gotoAndStop(2);

}

Specific help would be appreciated!
