I have a main movie I load external swf’s into via on (release) {  
\_root.contents\_mc.loadMovie(“main\_content.swf”);  
}  
All of this works but one of my movies has a form on it, all I need it to do is goto next fram after submit button is clicked I cant seem to figure out the right path to send the \_mc on. This is what I have but it doesn’t work and I know it needs something else after \_root. but I dont know what.

onClipEvent(data){  
\_root.nextFrame();  
}

Here is my .fla It was too big to upload so I put it on my server if you need it
