After the HitTest, How do I use the gotoAndPlay to direct the the main timeline to goto frame 2, and not frame 2 of \_root.circle MC? with \_parent?

I know this might be a simple question, but my brain hurts from the previous ‘debugging’…

both of these give me the same results.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.circle.hitTest(\_root.box1)) {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
;  
}  
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.circle.hitTest(\_root.box1)) {  
gotoAndPlay(“Scene 1” , 2);  
;  
}  
}
