well, just tellTarget like you always do, but instead of targeting your target as "target" (let's say you called the target 'target'), you should target the object as "_parent.target" to go 1 level up, "_parent._parent.target" to go 2 levels up etc. In your case you can also use "_root.target" since root is the absolute path to your main timeline (actually to the main swf since that is an object too)

Hope this helps, cuz it should
