Controling the main movie from inside a moive, how?

[Sonic_Mush]

hope the title makes sense, it seems that it should be such a simple action but i dont know the command for instance to

"gotoAndStop(3); -in the main moive frominside another, i dont mean by this another .fla just using a movie inside the main moive to control the main,

that just made it harder to understand didn't it :?

but it would help emensly if i could do it

_root.gotoAndStop(3);

will move the main timeline to frame 3 - wherever you call it from

cheers
