Actionscript 2 inside a movie clip

[dwsimms]

On my main stage, I have 10 frames. In the first frame, I have a main menu that will be navigated using the keyboard. I converted the menu on that frame into a movie clip to keep things clean (I named the movie clip "menumovie"). Inside that movie clip I have 5 frames. Each frame has a highlight on it in different positions to represent selecting different options.

Here is the actionscript (as2) I used in the first frame to navigate to the second frame:

var eventListener = new Object();
eventListener.onKeyDown = function() {
    switch(Key.getCode())
    {
        case Key.DOWN:
            _root.menumovie.gotoAndStop(2);
            break;
        case Key.ENTER:
            _root.gotoAndStop(2);
            break;
    }
}

The function _root.menumovie.gotoAndStop(2) is supposed to navigate to frame 2 inside the movie clip. But, nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?
