Hya,

I’m trying to remove a movieclip and I’m unable too…  
I’ve my stage and from there I run intro\_mc. Inside this mc, using AS I place and play other mc instance mcCont.  
When all this is played, back in the stage I place a button, another mc. Inside it when I click on this I want to remove the mcCont and I was unable too.  
Tryed:  
removeChildAt(MovieClip(root).intro\_mc.intCont);  
stage.removeChild(intro\_mc.intCont);  
and several other ways without sucess… any advice?
