Need help understanding removeChild

programming flash
1

I am creating multiple instances of a movie class with the same variable name. The movie is then added random on the stage with a tween. On a mouse handler click, i want to remove the movie from the stage.

I am getting error -

ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/removeBlock()
What am I doing wrong?

import gs.TweenLite;
import flash.utils.*;

var block:block_mc;


var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 15);
myTimer.start();

myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, run); 


function run(event:TimerEvent):void {
    trace("run");
    trace(myTimer.currentCount);
    
    block = new block_mc;
    block.x = Math.round(Math.random() * 400); 
    block.y = Math.round(Math.random() * 400); 
    block.alpha = 0;
block.mouseChildren = false;
    stage.addChild(block); 
    TweenLite.to(block, 1, {alpha:1});
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeBlock); 
    
}

function removeBlock(event:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(event.target);


}
