gotoAndPlay

Hey.

I am working on this project . . . big whopty do, however i am having and issue, alright i have 4 MCs One inside another inside another . . . blah and blah till we get to the fourth MC now this MC consists of three layers, top one actionscript second one animation, third one is a button. all these layers spand 13 frames. This MC is actions and motion for a rollever button. The previous MC is just animation. With basic stop action on frame 10, it consists of 15 frames.

The problem i am having is that when i click this button which is in the fourth MC i need it to goto frame 13 in the previous MC, as you guess it is not. I have frame 13 in the third MC labeled Motion i have on this frame a stop action. so when button in fourth MC is pressed it does not goto frame 13 in previous MC. My actionsript on the button is:
on (rollOver, dragOver) {
btnPlay = true;
play();
}
on (rollOut, dragOut) {
btnPlay = false;
play();
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(Motion);
}

I am not sure why it is not working, does anyone have any ideas that could be of assistance? I would Really Appritiate help. Thanks a lot.

on (rollOver, dragOver) {
	btnPlay = true;
	play();
}
on (rollOut, dragOut) {
	btnPlay = false;
	play();
}
on (release) {
	_root.gotoAndPlay("Motion");
}

Sorry, I did not read all of your post before

on (rollOver, dragOver) {
	btnPlay = true;
	play();
}
on (rollOut, dragOut) {
	btnPlay = false;
	play();
}
on (release) {
	_parent.gotoAndPlay("Motion");
}
