How do I target the main timeline from a nested symbol

I might be wrong, but have u tried simply

sym.stop("label");

the label of course being in the main stage.

i always thought you only needed to "getSymbol" if you were targeting a nested composition/stage.

Hello,

Your code is correct: sym.getComposition().getStage().stop("label");

You've got a demo file here: nestedSymbol.zip - Box
