Any ideas as to why this won't work??
It's such a simple concept...


I have this code on the middle frame of a movieclip in my main timeline.
When the nav buttons are pressed they play an animation and report their names to a variable called "navigation" that's declared in the first frame of the main timeline.


I'm using this code:
parent.gotoAndPlay(parent.navigation);

Any code that uses "parent." will cause these errors:

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
