## I am have problems with removing movieclips from the stage. I am using

## // code for button click function bigstuffbutton(evt:MouseEvent):void {this.addChild(new loadingBigStuff()); }

which is fine, but I can’t seem to find a way of removing a movieclip already on the stage when doing so.

Any ideas  
Thanks
