Instead of ._parent?

programming flash
1

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I’m in flash 8 -

This is probably a super noob question, but I can’t figure it out…

I have a button that is calling an action up in the parent of my movie.

It works fine, but here is my code

_parent._parent._parent._parent.gotoAndPlay(“11b”);

I know there has got to be a way to do this instead of

_parent._parent._parent._parent.

I’ve tried giving the movie it is referring to an instance name - such as

_noob.gotoAndPlay(“11b”);

but no luck

I looked for an answer in the forums, but no luck. If someone could point me to a tutorial, or shoot me an answer I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Thanks!!!
