AS3 - finding out which movie was clicked?

[MrGameShow]

Okay, I'm starting from scratch learning AS3, so bear with me.

Let's assume that I've got 3 instances of a movie, each labeled team1, team2, team3. In this movie is a BUTTON (named buttonTest) and a TEXTFIELD(teamReply).

I'd like to write a function in the root that the event listener from the button within the movie would call on, but how do I find out 'which button' was pressed dynamically in order to send a line of text back?

For example: if the team2.buttonTest button was CLICKed, how do I pass that information onto the function to tell the function to send the text BACK to that same movie?

Something like this?

buttonName1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonPressed);

buttonName2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonPressed);

function buttonPressed(event:MouseEvent):void {
         switch(event.target){
                  case buttonName1 :
                  textFieldName.text = "button 1 pressed";
                  break;

                  case buttonName2 :
                  textFieldName.text = "button 2 pressed";
                  break;
         }
}
