AS3 button question swfaddress

[Guest]

I am trying to transition from as2 to as3 its been going very slow I have added as3 swfadress successfully my problem is that I dont want to use movieclips instead of buttons here is what i have

i have this on frame 2

// SWFAddress actions
function btnClick(e:MouseEvent) {
SWFAddress.setValue(e.target.deepLink);
}
function btnRollOver(e:MouseEvent) {
SWFAddress.setStatus(e.target.deepLink);
}
function btnRollOut(e:MouseEvent) {
SWFAddress.resetStatus();
}

// SWFAddress handling
function handleSWFAddress(e:SWFAddressEvent) {
try {
  if (currentFrame == 2 && e.value == '/') {
   play();
  } else {
   gotoAndStop('$' + e.value);
  }
} catch(err) {
  gotoAndStop('$/error/');
}

}
SWFAddress.addEventListener(SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, handleSWFAddress);
stop();

then in the movie clips i have the below code

this.deepLink = '/home/';

this.buttonMode = true;

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, (parent as MovieClip).btnClick);

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, (parent as MovieClip).btnRollOver);

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, (parent as MovieClip).btnRollOut);

however using this setup I would like to use buttons instead of movieclips how do i accomplish this because in as3 you cannot add code in a button

Why do you want to use buttons instead of movieclips?  What feature are you looking to utilize that movieclips don't support?  Have you considered using a button inside of a movieclip?

Well thats a good question and as i look at my issue i need to face it instead of running I want to animated it and found some documents on how to but my biggest issue is using swf address  my external buttons dont work now they do nothing
