removeMovieClip on another frame

programming flash
1

Hello everyone,

I’m having difficulties removing a movie clip that i attached early on my first frame. I would like to remove it later on my fifth frame.

here is my code on my first frame


for (i=1; i<18; i++) {
 this["play"+i].iD = i;
 this["play"+i].onRelease = function() {
  _root.currentItem1.swapDepths(300);
  _root.currentItem1.removeMovieClip();
  _root.currentItem1 = _root.middleStage.attachMovie("audio"+this.iD, "audio"+this.iD, 1);
 };
 this["play"+i].onRollOver = function () {
    this.gotoAndPlay(2);
 };
 this["play"+i].onRollOut = function () {
    this.gotoAndPlay(1);
 };
}

here is my code on the fifth frame but the movieclip doesn’t go away :expressionless:
please advice.


onEnterFrame = function () {
    trace (_root.currentItem1);
    _root.currentItem1.swapDepths(300);
      _root.currentItem1.removeMovieClip();
}
