Question : Calling multiple dynamically created MCs

I am trying to add a listener to one button, that will access various other movieclips (playing the 2nd frame to the end frame) of multiple movieClips (specifically: mc4, mc5, mc6, mc7).

In line 72, I am able to specify the correct mc instance and verify via a trace statement, but I really want to gotoAndPlay on frame two for mc4, mc5, mc6, mc7. Should be simple, but it isn't so far.

The "mssMC.gotoAndPlay(2);" code works fine for the MC instance I click on, but I also want to add the other instances. There will be 5 different MCs that will trigger a similar effect, each calling multiple dynamically generated MCs.

Code Snippet:
