If I create a mc within a “xml function” like this:

[AS]  
item\_mc = \_root.container\_mc.attachMovie(“content\_mc”, “content\_mc”, 0);  
[/AS]

How can I then delete it?  
this doesn’t work

[AS]  
delete \_root.container\_mc.content\_mc;  
// or  
delete \_root.container\_mc.\_level0.content\_mc;  
[/AS]

Anyone knows? Levels is tricky!!! ☹
