Hello! Your code contains alot of flaws. I'm not sure how good you are with Actionscript, but I'll try to help you
And since when was it possible to click 2 buttons at once with only 1 cursor xD?

Now, from what I understand, you have 2 Buttons, and 3 Movieclips, with the colors Green, Red, and Yellow. You want all of them to be invisible at first. When you click on a button, a movieclip will appear (either green or red, depending on the button you clicked on) with the _visible code. If both of the buttons are active, meaning that both the green and the red movieclips are _visible, the yellow movieclip should appear, right?

I made 2 Buttons (one for the Green mc, and the other for Red mc). Then I made 3 Movieclips, for the colors green, red and yellow, and I put the Yellow Movieclip above the Green and Red mc's (cause if I don't do that, then the Yellow MC won't be visible -.-*). Then I simply wrote this code on one of the Frame Actions:

_root.green._visible = false;
_root.red._visible = false;
_root.yellow._visible = false;

var green_var:Boolean = false;
var red_var:Boolean = false;

btnGreen.onPress = function(){
    green_var = !green_var;
    _root.green._visible = !_root.green._visible;
}

btnRed.onPress = function(){
    red_var = !red_var;
    _root.red._visible = !_root.red._visible;
}

onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(green_var == true && red_var == true){
        _root.yellow._visible = true;
    } else {
        _root.yellow._visible = false;
    }
}

Now let's break it down, and explain the code:

_root.green._visible = false;
_root.red._visible = false;
_root.yellow._visible = false;
// this will make the buttons invisible once the movie starts

var green_var:Boolean = false;
// this is a variable which only contains 2 values,
//  false or true
var red_var:Boolean = false;
// same for this one

btnGreen.onPress = function(){
    green_var = !green_var;
    // when Green button is clicked, green_var which is false at first,
    //  will turn into the opposite, which would then be true,
    //   because a Boolean only contains either false or true ;)
    // if we know click on this button again, the variable
    //  green_var will turn from true to false. This is just to simplify
    _root.green._visible = !_root.green._visible;
    // since _visible also only has 2 values, true and false, we can
    //  use ! exclamation mark to turn it into the opposite of what it
    //   is right now. It is from the start, set to false, so when we
    //    click on this button, it will be set to true. It will be visible
}

btnRed.onPress = function(){
    red_var = !red_var;
    // same as above, this time, we have an individual variable for red
    _root.red._visible = !_root.red._visible;
}

onEnterFrame = function(){
    // onEnterFrame will make the codes under loop, so that they
    //  check that the WHOLE time, if those two are true or not
    //   or else they would only have checked at the start of the movie
    if(green_var == true && red_var == true){
        // if the variables green_var AND red_var are both set to true,
        //  then execute the following codes
        _root.yellow._visible = true;
        // make yellow mc visible
    } else {
        // if green_var AND red_var are both NOT true at the same time
        //  then execute the following code
        _root.yellow._visible = false;
        // make yellow mc invisible
    }
} 

If you still do not understand, or do not like this code, you can always use another n00bish way xD, here:

_root.green._visible = false;
_root.red._visible = false;
_root.yellow._visible = false;

btnGreen.onPress = function(){
    if(_root.green._visible == false){
        // when button is clicked, if green mc is false,
        //  then set it to true
        _root.green._visible = true;
    } else {
        // if not, then make it false. Which means that if
        //  _root.green._visible is not equals to false, but
        //   in this case, it is equals to true, then make it false
        _root.green._visible = false;
    }
}

btnRed.onPress = function(){
    // same below as above
    if(_root.red._visible == false){
        _root.red._visible = true;
    } else {
        _root.red._visible = false;
    }
}

onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(_root.green._visible == true && _root.red._visible == true){
        // if green is visible AND red is visible at the same time
        _root.yellow._visible = true;
        // make yellow mc visible
    } else {
        // or else
        _root.yellow._visible = false;
        // make yellow mc invisible
    }
}
