hello,
i'm very new to css and i'm having a problem controlling the font
color and links in a class that i've created.

what i've done is created a class for a button, so that all the
buttons share the same properties. however, the links for the buttons
are a different color than the links in my document. i've checked the
documentation a bunch of times and the only place that i found where
you can change the link color is in the A{} class. am i wrong??
help!!

You're partially correct. You can narrow it down like this:

..myButtonClass a:link { ... }

and similarly for a:visited, a:hover, and a:active (incidentally the
order should be link, visited, hover, and active in that order for the
cascade to work properly). With this selector, any links that have a
class of .myButtonClass applied to them will have the rules applied as
you've defined them here. These can be different from links within the
document.
