If you have no other closeCard handlers ahead of this one in the 
hierarchy, the message should be received by the card. Are your 
opencard/closecard handlers in the card? Does the videoclip continue to 
play when you change cards, or is it static when it is superimposed on 
other cards? If it is static, then the message was received but the clip 
was not hidden. If it continues to play, then probably you have a 
closecard handler somewhere else that is interfering, or you haven't 
placed the handlers in the card layer where they will trigger.

I think we need more info.
