MovieClip Last Frame event Handler

If my Document.as adds a movieclip to the stage how can I remove that movieClip when it reaches its last frame?

Document.as

private var MainVideo:MovieClip = new my_video();
addChild(MainVideo);

    MainVideo.addEventListener("movieclip_stopped", _stopHandler);

    function _stopHandler(e:Event):void
            {
                trace('mc was stopped');
            }

And on the last frame of my MovieClip I put:

stop();

MainVideo.dispatchEvent(new Event("movieclip_stopped"));

But of course I am getting ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable MainVideo is not defined. since the movieclip doesnt understand who or what created it.

Make that:

this.dispatchEvent(...);

From inside the movie clip you refer to the movie clip using this. From outside, you use a reference to the object, like MainVideo.
