You should cast to the class.  About casting see the following:

The parent is a property of DisplayObject class, while the play() method 
is belongs to MovieClip class which is a sub class of DisplayObject. 
Therefore the reference of the property should be cast to MovieClip class.


MovieClip(parent).play();
