ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Events Within Movie Clips?

I have made buttons within movie clips as I want the buttons to fade in from alpha 0-100. Also, the buttons have an Over state, so when you hover over the button the colour of the button changes from maroon to grey.I originally used this code to link from one frame page to another:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(3);
}

however it just made the button disappear, so I tried using frame labels instead with the following code:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("menuLabel");
}

The above code allowed the button to link from one frame page to another, however the only problem is that it has somehow stopped the mouse Over event from working (the maroon to grey).I have used the following code to correct the mouse Over event error, but now the button itself isn't going to the specified frame.

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
home_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop("menuLabel");
}
}
