AS3 air project.. nested button in a movie clip .. trying to use a class script

Question

I have been tring to have a button in a nested movie clip move the timeline along using a class script attached to the nested movie. I can get the buttons to work on the main timeline with another similar class script, but when I have a button within a nested movie and attach similar code to the movie, it doesn't seem to want to work. This is the class code attached to the nested clip.... I guess can an active listener be called if the button isn't yet being visible yet, and should this be done on the Main class script page for the main timeline? Any help would be great!! Thanks
package  {
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    public class Animation extends MovieClip {
        public function Animation() {
            gotoAndStop(1);
            negBackground_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, buttonPressedNegBackground);
        private function buttonPressedNegBackground(e:MouseEvent):void {
            negBackground_btn.visible = false;
            gotoAndStop("negChar");

Hi,
Your question is bit confusing, try to explain it. According to what I unsrestand you should use the particular movieClip name with the code to make it happen properly.
Like :
(movieClip_Instance).gotoAndStop("negChar");
