Starting and stoping movie clip inside of movie clip

1

I haven’t worked with flash since 2004, and I am realizing that I have missed a lot. I am trying to control different movie clips that reside inside of a parent movie clip.

Code of movie clip inside of playbar

stop();
//functions
function over_playBar_1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(root).playBar_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}


// events
ind.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, over_playBar_1);

Code to move playbar around in parent.

stop();
//functions
function over_playBar(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function out_playBar(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndPlay(11);
}


// events
playBar_activeArea.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, over_playBar);
playBar_activeArea.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, out_playBar);

I can email the FLA if that would help.
