Hi I am following the “Flash-Based Email Form Using PHP” tutorial at:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash\_php\_email.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm)

the form movieclip has this code applied to it:

onClipEvent(data){  
// show welcome screen  
\_root.nextFrame();  
}

My assignment requires all code to be in external file so I put this in my actionscript:

form.onClipEvent(data){

\_root.nextFrame();

}

where form is the name of my movieclip that has 3 input fields in it. I get this error:  
Expected a field name after ‘.’ operator.  
form.onClipEvent(data){

can anybody help please,

Thanks,

Matt.
