For some reason, I cannot figure out how to get back to a specified frame in the main timeline once inside a movie clip. My movie clip resides on the main timeline.

Thought this would work, but it does not.

```auto
 
root.gotoAndPlay("Start");

```

What do I need to replace “root” with??

PLEASE HELP!!! ;(
