Generally you should use Tell Targets based on loction on the main
timeline.

If the frame blabla is on the main timeline the the path is always /
Begin Tell Target ("/")
Go to and Stop ("blabla")
End Tell Target

If the frame blabla is in A then use
Begin Tell Target ("/A")
Go to and Stop ("blabla")
End Tell Target

If the frame blabla is in B then use
Begin Tell Target ("/A/B")
Go to and Stop ("blabla")
End Tell Target

The above require you to use Instance names (A and B) for the MCs.

If frame blabla is on the main timeline and the button is in an MC B
inside MC A on the main timeline you can use
Begin Tell Target ("../../")
Go to and Stop ("blabla")
End Tell Target

We have two ways (an interactive diagram and a table) to determine the
proper MC path (there are always 3 ways that will work) for your MC or
variable at the Bible --->
