So! I’ve got a website I’m working on with a very simple three button interface…

First off, I’ve got a dynamically called Movieclip that’s a child of the stage. What I’m attempting to do now, is make it so that when you click anywhere that isn’t the Movieclip, it kills said Movieclip!

I tried to do this by calling a function that looks at the name of the Movieclip, but for some reason, the dynamically called Movieclip is called “instance 000”… Any suggestions?

here’s the function that calls the Movieclip.

```auto
function ResumeAction (e:MouseEvent):void {
var ResumePane_MC:Resume_Pane = new Resume_Pane();
ResumePane_MC.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
ResumePane_MC.y = stage.stageHeight/2-50;
ResumePane_MC.name = "ResumeName";
stage.addChildAt (ResumePane_MC, stage.numChildren);

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CheckTo Close);
}

```

Any help for finding the reference of my dynamically loaded Movieclip would be GREATLY appreciated!

Cheers!
