You should see the MC instance name in the dialog box when applying the 

TellTarget action to the button. If not, it may not be present at that 

point in the timeline, or it may have somehow lost its instance name. 

That's what I'd check first. Also make sure of course that the label is 

typed identically  (spaces, case, etc.) in the MC and button.
