Event dispatch in external swf not being registered in main swf

Hi,

I have an external swf, which runs in the main swf and when it gets to the end of it's timeline I have it fire off an event dispatch..but the main swf doesnt seem to be listening...if it was it should advance 1 frame on its own timeline...Here is my code:

Code:

---

//external swf code--end of its timelline
timelineOver();
function timelineOver():void{
        trace("end");
        stage.dispatchEvent(new Event("advanceTimeline", true));
//main swf listening code
public function Mainprogress()
                {
                        //trace(buttonLabels);

                        if (stage)
                        {
                                main = this;
                                main.init();
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, this.init);
                        }


main.addEventListener("advanceTimeline", moveForward);
private function moveForward():void
                {
                        main.gotoAndPlay(currentFrame+1);
                        trace(currentFrame+1, "currentFrame and one");
                        removeEventListener("advanceTimeline", moveForward);
                }
}

could someone perhaps post a link on how to do this or post some generic code?

Thanks,
