Using the "root" function

For those of you working on your websites in Flash and using frames instead of scenes you may find this code very useful. If you have a nested movie clip and need to jump to back to a frame in the main timeline once it has completed playing, do the following:

On the actions layer inside the nested movie clip place a keyframe in the actions layer at the end of the timeline.

Insert the code:

MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndStop(4);

You do not need a stop; function. 4 is the frame number you'd like to jump back to on the main timeline. Therefore, you'd need to change that depending on what frame you want to call up.
