Hello. I have a function that is attaching something in a column depending on a number I am giving. If I press on that attachment I what to delete that something from the stage.  
I have like this:

2  
3  
4  
5  
6  
I press 5 I what to remove 5 from the column.  
This is my function. Thank you for any help.  
function buildDeleteButtons(k:Number, parentMovie:MovieClip) {  
parentMovie.\_x = 0;  
parentMovie.\_y = 25;  
for (var i:Number = 0; i \< k; i++) {  
var currentDeleteButton:MovieClip = parentMovie.attachMovie(“trashcan”, “myButton” + (i+1), parentMovie.getNextHighestDepth());  
currentDeleteButton.id = i;  
currentDeleteButton.\_x = 5;  
currentDeleteButton.\_y = i\*(currentDeleteButton.\_height + 5) + 5;  
currentDeleteButton.onRelease = function() {  
trace(this.id);  
trace(currentDeleteButton);  
}  
}
