Q: I have a valid long stay visa/residence permit for a country that is part of the Schengen area. Do I need another visa to travel to other Schengen states?

A:

No. A long stay visa or a residence permit issued by a Schengen State allows you to travel or stay in other Schengen States for the maximum duration of a “short stay” (a stay of "90 days in any 180 day period").
