I think it's something like 'this.parent.functionName()', but I could be wrong.

We should put this on a t-shirt or something.

MovieClip(parent).functionName();

The issue is that the parent property is typed as DisplayObjectContainer which doesn't have the function you are trying to find, and is not dynamic either. Casting to MovieClip lets you try to call arbitrary properties because MovieClip is dynamic. If your parent is NOT a MovieClip, you will have to cast to whatever it actually is.
