Hi everyone. I have 3 buttons that on press attaches a movie clip. Is there a way to detach the movie clip b/c there are several other buttons for the user to click and this first movie clip will not remove?

this is the code that is on the 1st button  
on (press){  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“Test\_mc”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
Test\_mc.attachMovie(“Colors”, “Colors”, emptyMC.getNextHighestDepth(), {\_x:20, \_y:100});

}  
Thanks
