Macromedia Flash question. (n00bish).?

Question

Hey, ive encountered a problem with Flash, that i dotkn know how to solve. Im sure it has a simple solution, cos im a flash n00b.

I have a button inside a movie clip symbol.

when that button is clicked i need to assign an action to it, so it would go and play frame 40, in my animation. BUT, when i assign the usual action

'on(release) {

gotoAndPlay(40);

} it obviously goes automatically to the 40th frame INSIDE THE MOVIE CLIP SYMBOL.

How do i navigate it so it plays the 40th frame in my actual animation, and not inside the movie clip symbol that its sitting in?

Thank you soo much in advance

I used to write it a long long time ago so I have forgotten. I think you use _super.gotoAndPlay(40);
