Hey guys, I’m trying to link from inside my movieclip to a frame on the main timeline.

The ActionScript is inside the MovieClip.

```auto

function gotoSite(e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("home");
}

```

This is the code I’m using, however I need to use the ‘root’ or the ‘parent’ properties to get to the main timeline, however I’m unsure on how to code this, any help is appreciated.
