Remove child / scope

[Ricky55]

Hi

How do I remove a child from the root timeline from within a movieclip?

I've tried

MovieClip(parent).removeChild(mc1);

But this through an error.

Thanks in advance.

What error do you get? Please post the exact message so we can help you further.

Also, now and again it may be another line giving you an error. Try commenting out the line, and if the error is still there, look elsewhere for the error.

Thanks for replying, sorry for late reply I've been struggling to access the site been really slow.

Anyhow the error I get is 1120: Access of undefined property mc1.

Try any one of these and see if one of them works for you:
MovieClip(parent).removeChild(this);
MovieClip(parent).removeChild(MovieClip(parent).ge tChildByName("mc1"));

Thanks man the second option works, the first one just removes its self.

Thanks again!!
