Answer / devendran
The super parent for all the movieClip is _root
but using the _parent you can get particular MovieClip's parent.
For example you are having one Movie Called MovieHolder_mc
and MovieHolder2_mc on Stage, and inner1_mc inside the
MovieHolder_mc. Now you can access the MovieHolder in Two Ways
_root.MovieHolder2_mc (Direct access)
to get this from the innerMovie
inner1_mc._parent._parent.MovieHolder2_mc
