How do I make a button in a movie clip affect something in another movieclip?

Question

Not much more to say than my title question really.  But I have a movie clip with some buttons in it and I want to program them to effect something inside of another movieclip.  But using the basic actionscript approach I normally would use doesn't quite work because the movieclip instance names I'm referencing aren't being recognized since they're not in the same timeline as the buttons themselves.  I hope that makes sense.  thanks!

You should consider putting the code in the main timeline and target the buttons and the movieclips from that single reference point.

If you want specific help solving a specific approach you are taking then you should show the code and explain the objects involved in that code.
