3 problems

1-the problem with removechild(); it removes one clip_mc i need it to remove all the loop not just 1

2- i need the targetName so i can use it in other scripts cuz when it go to keyframe 3 the status diappear

3- need a way to grab bitrate so as the player don play with random ones every now and then

thanks
