action scripting help please!!?!?!?

let me explain my problem to the great flash guru's that visit this great forum....

i have a main panel MC with 3 buttons
>all this stuff is in the MC
-3 buttons are called red/blue/white(just to simplify things)
-frames 1-15 transforms the MC(clears the contents to display new information
-frams 16-26 animates new information for "red.bu" content
-frames 27-37 animates new information for "blue.bu" content
-frames 38-48 animates new information for "white.bu" content

after red.bu is pressed i want it to play frames 1-15 and then 16-26

after blue.bu is pressed i want it to play frames 1-15 and then 27-37

after white.bu is pressed i want it to play frames 1-15 and then 38-48

Is this possible with labling? I understand how to label frames but can you actually script it to goto one label and then another after one click? Can someone show me what to do? Or should I just copy frames 1-15 and then paste them infront of each series of animations? I know that would be the easier way but I'm not learning something that i think is valuble to learn :)

thanks ahead of time to those who help
