Event dispatch in external swf not being registered in main swf

[yvillicana]

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:

//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,
