hi there,

i used a tutorial on [learnflash.com](http://learnflash.com) to attach a bubble effect to the cursor using this actionscript:

var i:Number = 0;

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“canvas\_mc”,50);

var myListener:Object = new Object();  
Mouse.addListener(myListener);  
myListener.onMouseMove = function(){  
var t:MovieClip = canvas\_mc.attachMovie(“bubble”,“bubble”+i,canvas\_mc.getNextHighestDepth());  
i++;  
t.\_x = \_xmouse;  
t.\_y = \_ymouse;  
t.\_xscale = t.\_yscale = (Math.random()\*80)+20;  
}

my question is how can i then remove this bubble effect in a later frame in my movie?  
I am not familiar with creating movie clips using actionscript so any help would be great.
