Okey,

So here’s the deal I have a series of large and small envelopes dynamically attached to my stage, and I’m trying to think of a way to detect when all of my movieclips have been removed from my stage, onRollOver. Any suggestions, I was thinking of using a for in loop to detect them but that didn’t work. I have uploaded my files to usendit, click on the url below, and i also pasted my code.
