flash actionscript: Hi,

I'm trying remove an attached movie clip... but the code doesn't work... Why?

Regards,


_root.attachMovie("movieClip", "my_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
my_mc.removeMovieClip();
removeMovieClip(my_mc);
removeMovieClip(_root["my_mc"]);

removeMovieClip(_root.my_mc);
removeMovieClip(_level0.my_mc);

Sorry,

It doesn't work yet !!!!!!

removeMovieClip(_root.my_mc);
trace(_root.my_mc); // it still returns the object

Sorry, typo!

I've tried every possible forms... Wondering it doesn't work!! I used unloadMovie instead... But I could not understand why... You can try the code by a simple movie clip...

Thanx

The manual states that you should use my_mc.removeMovieClip(); when you want to
remove a clip created with attachMovie(); So, when you are referencing
correctly... this should work.
I will try the code myself.

works fine for me
_root.attachMovie("movieClip", "my_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
my_mc.removeMovieClip();
the code means that you do not see the "my_mc"
if you put the my_mc.remove MovieClip(); in a button handler eg
my_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_mc.removeMovieClip();
}
then you can see it happen better

What is the depth of the thing you are trying to remove?

trace(my_mc.getDepth());

And are you using any UI components? They ruin the functionality of
getNextHighestDepth().
