Hi guys,

This has been torturing me for pretty long. Let’s say I have an MC (my\_mc) with a button inside (mybtn\_btn). Now I make something like this:  
ActionScript Code:  
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT]my\_mc.[COLOR=#000080]mybtn\_btn[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onRollOver[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]\_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]showBubble[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]

my\_mc.[COLOR=#000080]mybtn\_btn[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onRollOut[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
removeBubbleInt = [COLOR=#0000FF]setInterval[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]removeBubble, [COLOR=#000080]3000[/COLOR], [COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR] showBubbleCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]attachMovie[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]“bubble”[/COLOR], [COLOR=#FF0000]“bubble\_mc”[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]10007[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR] removeBubbleCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]clearInterval[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#0000FF]trace[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#0000FF]removeMovieClip[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]  
[/LEFT]  
[/FONT]

This doesn’t work, of course. The bubble is removed, but not the interval. How the heck do I remove that interval? Thanks!
