Basically, a random amount of movieclips have been attached to the stage using attachMovieClip().

so each one was assigned the instance name of “rock”+b  
(b started out at 0 and was increased by one each time a new movie was created)

how do i remove one of these movieclips from the stage?

I tried **this[“rock”+b].removeMovieClip()**  
but that didn’t work

PLEASE HELP! 🙂
