AS3 Play movie clip and navigate to another frame on the main timeline

I have a button that you hover over that sits on one frame - it goes with the movie clip that sits on the very next frame ( both of these are in the same key frame ) and plays it on frame 134. After that movie clip has played, I would like the timeline to take you to the next frame.

I can not use this:

stop(); 
if( MovieClip(root).currentFrame < MovieClip(root).totalFrames ) {
    MovieClip(root).nextFrame();
}

I have tried to put that code in the last frame of the mc, but it won't work.

Right now even with the stop command it still loops.

What frame is your code located in? – Jonny Henly
it is in the last frame of the movie clip – user2250171
I'd suggest a simple parent.play() on the last frame of your mc – Teejay

Try this.parent instead of root like so,

stop(); 

if(MovieClip(this.parent).currentFrame < MovieClip(this.parent).totalFrames)
{  
    MovieClip(this.parent).nextFrame(); 
}

Best luck.
