Action Script - how to go to another scene from movieClip?

Question

I'm trying to go to another scene by clicking a button witch is placed in a mc and I got an error. This is my code below

Play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoScene2); 
function gotoScene2(evt:MouseEvent){
    movClip.gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene 2");
}

(this code is placed inside a movieClip witch is instantiated like "movClip", at frame 260 - may be this help to understand better). And this is the erorr i get: Symbol 'preloader26',Layer'Layer9',Frame 260,Line 4 1120:Access of undefined property movClip I hope anyone can help me...thanks very much!

when i put 'this', i receive the bellow erorr: ArgumentError: Error #2108: Scene Scene 2 was not found. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay() at Exotic_fla::preloader26_2/gotoScene2() — tziuka, Jun 08 '13 at 09:47
i think, 'this' means eventlistener not movieClip in this case... isn't? — tziuka, Jun 08 '13 at 09:50
ok , so try this: `MovieClip(this.parent).gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene 2");` — Ivan Chernykh, Jun 08 '13 at 09:52

Try to get the parent of the object , like this:

MovieClip(this.parent).gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene 2");
