Hi Guys,  
Can you take a look at the following;

basicly every time the  
displayDetails() is called, a new class called playerHighlights  
is added to the stage. This works fine.

However, when the displayDetails class is run again, I wish to remove the existing  
playerHighlights from the stage. YOu can see from the playerHighlights method that values are been passed through,  
but i have taken out some code to make this easy.

Any takers ?  
function displayDetails(event:Event):void  
{  
var pe:playerHighlights = new playerHighlights(thisTeam,playerNumber);  
addChild(my\_mc);  
my\_mc.addChild(pe);  
}
