Greetings all,

Getting really frustrated with a problem and was wondering if anyone could help? I can’t seem to get removeMovieClip(); to work!

I have an if statement which loads a button from the library when the counter reaches 4.

I am trying to use the loaded button ‘song’ to remove the movie clip as well using an on on release funtion. Everything works fine except for ‘song.removeMovieClip();’.

Here is my code:

_[COLOR=red] if(counter == 4)[/COLOR]_  
_[COLOR=red] {  
this.attachMovie(“nexter”, “song”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
this.song.\_x = 323;  
this.song.\_y = 415;[/COLOR]_  
_[COLOR=red][/COLOR]_  
_[COLOR=red]song.onRelease = function()  
{  
gotoAndPlay(53);  
song.removeMovieClip();  
}[/COLOR]_  
_[COLOR=red] }[/COLOR]_

Can anyone see any problems?
