onClipEvent(data) help

Hello,

I am wondering what the general rule of thumb is when using the onClipEvent(data) command. Currently I have it applied to a movie clip which retains input fields for a form. This form submits successfully but the onClipEvent(data) event does not fire. I haven’t found any good tutorials or posts to help point me in it’s proper use. And yes, I’ve also looked in the Macromedia manual. It is still beyond me to why it’s not receiving the necessary data to fire itself.

The containing MC is deeply embedded, and here is the simple code I’m using;

onClipEvent(data){
    gotoAndPlay(25);
}

Is there supposed to be some delineation concerning the submit button code, does that affect this process?
