so that’s pretty much what i’m working with… i have three of those… so what i want to do is remove all the bars from what was on the stage previously… basicly i have one bar with a text field on it that i duplicate for each part of the array… now, if you notice i use subBar.removeMovieClip(); somewhere near the top, this only removes the bottom bar that is displayed… something tells me this is a depth issue (though i’ve tried changing it around) and instinct tells me i’m just way off. could anybody help?
