Hey guys,

So i have this flash game with couple of different scenes  
And im trying to remove all of the movieclips when the scene ends because i keep getting a loop of errors, for example this one

_TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.  
at BlobBobScenes\_fla::MainTimeline/star()_

I have tried removing these

\*else if (mcMain.hitTestObject(level1.goal))  
{  
trace(“Level 1 Completed”)  
gotoAndStop(“1”,“Scene 6”);  
removeChild(mcMain);  
removeChild(level1);

```
	stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, checkKeysUp);
	
	mcMain.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, star);  
}*

```

“level1” is the movieclip that contains everything except for the character.

Any ideas on how to remove everything from the stage when the character hits the goal ??

Thanks
