It would be component.parent, not just parent unless you are working in the child's scope.
A better way would be to register an eventlistener (don't forget to remove it if it's not necessary anymore) for the child in the parent's scope. Why? To me it's the same problem you might run into when working with the stage. Sometimes the stage and parent references might be null -> that's the case when the child is not added.
