First, they need to be Movie Clips, NOT buttons. MCs can have button properties, but buttons can not have MC properties. So change the bio_mc and art_mc to movie clips.

Next, add a layer to each MC and put a stop(); in each frame.

You have to give both MCs an instance name (click once on MC from the stage, open "properties" panel type name in box "instance name")

Then use action script to tell the buttons what to do.

for example if you give instance names of "bio" and "art" then on the artMC you would put something like:

on(press){
   _root.bio.gotoAndStop("2");
}

on(release){
   _root.bio.gotoAndStop("3");
}

You may have to adjust slightly based on how your MCs are layers on the stage (nested, depths, etc.)

For an example see the attached zip file
