Hello all!

I have afew movieclips on the main timeline, and now I need to make one movieclip from them all while being able to reference to them.

I got this code

function on\_click(event:MouseEvent):void {  
if (r && r.parent == this) {  
removeChild®;  
bmp.stop();  
}  
if (scroll\_mc && scroll\_mc.parent == this) {  
removeChild(scroll\_mc);  
}  
}

How would I rewrite the code to make the script understand that I want to look inside the movicelip mc for the other ones?

Regards
