JTabbedPane switching from within added component

Question

Hey guys,
Anyone know how/if its possible to change between JTabbedPanes
by using a button within a component added to one of the Panes?
Class A has a JtabbedPane in it
and Class B extends JPanel and is added to the TabbedPane
as a Component
Is there anyway to have a buttonclick in class b to switch to
another tab in the parent class?
