Hey everyone,  
I am new to flash as3, I am trying to figure out how do I remove a child after I add one into a mc.

here is my code:

var two\_mc:Two=new Two();  
pic\_mc.addChild(two\_mc);  
pic\_mc.removeChild(pic\_mc.two\_mc);

The error that is shows up is:  
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.  
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()  
at test2mc\_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

I cant remove the child if i add a child inside a movieclip, is there something that iam doing wrong ?

Thank you
