I can’t seem to make this clip disappear. I’ve tried calling it from it’s parent object and also tried putting this.removeMovieClip(); inside the clip itself, but it just won’t go. I don’t have the same problem with other clips in the movie. This is the only one that has a dynamic text field, but I don’t see why that would make a dif. Any ideas? Ⓜ
