HTML5 Canvas scripting question - movieclip to movieclip interaction

[Line]

Hi!

I have a movieclip with a button in it. I want the button to tell a movieclip named TriesRemainingMC on the maintimeline which is stopped on it's first frame to play.

I was thinking the code should be: 

function PumpkinDeath()
{
stage.TriesRemainingMC.play();

}

Thanks ahead for your reply,

The root timeline is exportRoot, not stage.

Thanks @ClayUUID 

That worked!

function PumpkinDeath()
{
exportRoot.TriesRemainingMC.play();

}
