Assuming you have one button (movieclip) named "myButton" and one movieclip named "targetMc" on stage you can do it like this:

myButton.buttonMode = true; // set the movieclip to act as a button
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonClick); // add mouse listener

function onButtonClick(event : Event) : void
{
    trace("clicked" + event.target);
    //gotoAndPlay("someFrameLabel"); // plays frame in current timeline
    targetMc.gotoAndPlay("someFrameLabel"); // plays frame in instance "targetMc" timeline
}
