Question about removing eventlistener on main timeline using code within mc

I have an event listener on my main timeline and I have an mc with some AS which sits on the main timeline. I was just wondering if the following code is correct if I wanted to remove the event listener on the maintimeline from the AS written in the mc.

MovieClip(parent).removeEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,
MovieClip(parent).removedFromStageHandler);

thanks.
