Trying to get a movie clip to go both up and down depending on which button gets clicked

Question

hello,
I have a file with 5 movie clips in it. I have a button that when clicks, plays each one. One of the movie clips needs to move both up and down and I am having a lot of trouble with this.
stop();
function showVenue(Event:MouseEvent):void
          mc_speaker.play();
function showSpeaker(Event:MouseEvent):void
          mc_compliance.play();
function showCompliance(Event:MouseEvent):void
          mc_strategic.play();
          mc_data.play();
function showStrategic(Event:MouseEvent):void
          mc_data.gotoAndPlay("down");
function showData(Event:MouseEvent):void
          mc_data.gotoAndPlay("up");
btn_viewMore_Venue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showVenue);
btn_viewMore_Speaker.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showSpeaker);
btn_viewMore_Complinace.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showCompliance);
btn_viewMore_Strategic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showStrategic);
btn_viewMore_Data.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showData);
Is there anyway to attach my file here for someone to look at???
thanks!

Answer 1

Well, on the mc_data movie clip, I had the animation going up and down with stop actions to stop it. so I put labels on those areas and tried to just control it that way. Seemed simple enough, but not working.
I really don't know how to control the toggle up and down in AS without using the timeline....just trying to help a friend, and ready to scream..I thought this would be so simple...
would be easier to explain if I could show you a dummy file...but I still don't see an attach button????
