The Simplest thing - MouseEvent.Click not Working

I'm trying to build a really simple clickable prototype. There's a movie clip with an instance name "emailFocus" and when I click it's supposed to go to frame 5. Really easy, right?

But, it's not working at all. There's nothing happening on click.

Possible complications...

1. There is a large bitmap background

2. There is a static text object on top of my movie clip

What am I doing wrong?

-- the code --

stop();

emailFocus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5(event:MouseEvent):void

{

    gotoAndStop(5);

}

-- end of the code --
