AS3 Putting Buttons Inside Movie Clip

Question

I am practicing AS3 (after years of AS2) and am having trouble having a button inside a movie clip talk to another movie clip on the main timeline. Here is the code:
OneButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked);
function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
MovieDescription.gotoAndStop("One");
TwoButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, TwoButtonClicked);
function TwoButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(2);
MovieDescription.gotoAndStop("Two");
The code above works, but if I put OneButton and TwoButton inside a movie clip, I know longer can target MovieTarget and MovieDescription. The reason I want to put OneButton and TwoButton inside it's own MC is so I can dim each button after it is clicked by toggling the playhead inside that MC. Help? Thanks!

Start over from the begining
press  f8 and chose movieClip then draw your untoggled button call the movie button then create another movie and create your toggled button or greyed out button and call it greyedButton.  Go to main stage add 2 button instances and 2 greyedButton instances( just drag from library).  you have 4 instances on stage.  give call instance names and place one them on top of each other so u can only see 2 buttons on stage.  put the greyed button under the button.
now with action script
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked);
function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
MovieDescription.gotoAndStop("One");
button1.visible = false; //  here the greyed button will show
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, TwoButtonClicked);
function TwoButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(2);
MovieDescription.gotoAndStop("Two");
button1.visible = true; // here button1 will go back to its orignal state
button2.visible = false // here the greyed button will show
