>Give the MC an instance name in the property inpector (you might want to put a stop command on the first frame inside/of the MC if you want it to play when button clicked)
>Then add an action to the button that targets that MC to play like:

on (release) {
instancename.play();
}

whats a MC?

sorry Movie Clip. select the Movie Clip on the stage then type in an instance name in the left of the propoerty inpector.
If you add a stop(); action on the first frame of the timeline inside the MC it won't play automatically. The code on the button then targets the MC with the instance name you gave it and tells it to play
