[RESOLVED] Controlling main timeline in a movie clip

[moagrius]

you can use events.

in the main timeline, set up a listener:

addEventListener("myEvent", handler, false, 0, true);
function handler(event:Event):void{
  // react however you want...
  gotoAndPlay(32);
} 

then from the frame in the nested clip, dispatch that event:

var e:Event = new Event("myEvent", true); // make sure it bubbles - 2nd argument should be "true"
dispatchEvent(e); 

i used simple string event-types here for simplicity; best-practice would be to use custom events.
