trying to hide all submenu’s when not equal to the current

```auto

function removeAllOtherMenus(mc) {
	trace("remove movieclips not equals: "+mc);
	  for (var i = 1; i <=3; i++){
                if (["subsubmenu_mc"+i] != [mc]._name) {
                        //this["subsubmenu_mc"+i].removeMovieClip();
			trace("So subsubmenu_mc"+i + " needs to be removed");
                }
        }
}

```

but it keeps tracing all subsubmenu\_mc (that is subsubmenu\_mc1, subsubmenu\_mc2 and subsubmenu\_mc3 when mc = subsubmenu\_mc2)

Any tips?
