goto frame in parent movie clip

This could certainly do it, but it requires that myParent is a correct
reference to the myChildBtn instance's parent. If myChildBtn is either a
Button or MovieClip instance, yuo have merely to use the Button._parent or
MovieClip._parent property (see the respective class entry for each object
in the ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference -- that is, look up "Button
class" or "MovieClip class").

myChildBtn.onRelease=function(){
this._parent.gotoAndPlay(frame);
}

... where frame, of course, refers to a number or frame label.
