Mc inside mc to be used as a 'close' button not working

1

Hi there,

I have a movieclip, and there is a movieclip inside of it that is being used as a button to close the parent movieclip. the idea is that this is a text box that appears, and then you hit the close mc to close the textbox.

As far as i can tell closeME() is where i’m lost. any suggestions would be great!

thanks in advance


public function closeME(e:MouseEvent) {
            e.target.parent.removeChild(this);
            // this is where its not working!!!!!
}
        
public function doM0(e:MouseEvent):void {
            var TB0:intro_mc = new intro_mc();
            TB0.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
            TB0.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
            
            TB0.CLOSES.buttonMode = true;
            TB0.CLOSES.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeME);
            parent.addChild(TB0);
}
