I have a master movie clip that my entire webpage is in, called masterMC. If I double click it, I have another movie clip called transitionMC. I want advance the timeline within masterMC when transitionMC completes playing, but not at the root level. I want to advance the MasterMC timeline, not the root. How do I go about doing this?

ActionScript

This is what I had before:

stop();

if(MovieClip(root).currentFrame<MovieClip(root).totalFrames){

MovieClip(root).nextFrame();

}

i replaced (root) with parent. it worked well. Thanks!
