Noob... check!
panadol...double check!
I am trying to "gotoAndStop" on a frame in a nested timeline from the main timeline,
but can't seem to figure out the correct way to write it with it's 'parents' etc...
this is how I have tried which makes sense to me (have tried other ways too) but no success.
gotoAndStop(parent."framename");
would absolutely love some help, have been staring at this far too long now!
Thanks 
You may need to clarify your simple question as it is somewhat confusing to interpret.
" "gotoAndStop" on a frame in a nested timeline from the main timeline"
That tells me you have a movieclip and you want the main timeline to tell it to gotoAndStop in a certain frame... so the solution to that would be...
mcInstanceName.gotoAndStop("framename");
But when you bring the mention of a parent into the story/code, then that makes me think you want the movieclip to tell the main timeline to gotoAndStop...
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("framename");
