You pretty much hit it on the head too! You can have the submovies reference
the parent movie, as in:

(this.parent as MovieClip).do_whatever;

I have had less luck in using: this.parent.do_whatever

though it works in some circles. Your parent movieclip is really a
DisplayObjectContainer as opposed to being a MovieClip, so if it was cast as
that type, and not as a MovieClip, then the shorthand... this.parent... might
work. That's still one on my agenda to work out.
