removing MC

[Susanadrt]

Hi,

I´m trying to write a code that says, when mc is out of this area between 75 and 475 x and between 20 and 320 y flash will remove the mc

this should work no?

blueCircle.onRelease = function() {
if(bluecircle1._x < 75 || bluecircle1._x > 475 && bluecircle1._y < 20 || bluecircle1._y > 320 ){
bluecircle1.removeMovieClip();
} else {
trace("variable 1 is not equal to foo");
}
}

thank you :-)

of scourse the else is not needed...

First thing...I'd enclose your two conditionals inside brackets:
if ((bluecircle1._x < 75 || bluecircle1._x > 475) && (bluecircle1._y < 20 || bluecircle1._y > 320)) {

Secondly, you can only use removeMovieClip() on a movieclip that's assigned a positive depth, i.e. a movieclip created with attachMovie(), duplicateMovieClip(), or createEmptyMovieClip().
If you're trying to remove a movieclip that you've placed onto the stage yourself, you will have to swap its depth first:
bluecircle1.swapDepths(positive_depth_integer_here );
bluecircle1.removeMovieClip();
