So, I’m new here, and do to the lack of good help on Kongregate, I have come here =D Hopefully somebody here will be able to help me

if(\_root.row2.block1.\_x == \_root.row1.block1.\_x)  
{  
\_root.row2.block1.removeMovieClip();  
trace(“working”);  
}

now, the trace fires, and, if I remove “.block1” the entire movie clip is removed, but with it in there, to remove the MC from within my MC, it WONT be removed, am I doing this wrong or am I making some other error?
