on release of the button, how do I navigate to a completely different movie clip?

so I know about \_parent and \_root in terms of moving between layers but say I wanted the press of a button to gotoAndStop(2); inside a different movie clip that is not parented or on the \_root?

Could it be something like \_Movieclip.gotoAndStop(2);?

Many thanks in advance
