Making one movieclip control another

1

I am probably just making a stupid mistake but can someone show me how to do the following…

I have a moive clip on _root and another movieclip within several other movieclips. I want the moiveclilp that is in several other movieclips to be able to stop the movieclip on _root on a release trigger.

I basically just want to know the proper AS for using one movieclip as a button that stops or plays another movieclip. Thanks

Mike

as simple as putting this code on your mc that is inside other mc’s

[AS]
on(release){
_root.mcUwantToStop.stop()
}
[/AS]
