I have an array of MovieClips, when i try and use .removeMovieClip on one of the array items it removes reference to the MovieClip Object but it is still visible on the stage. When I address the MovieClip directly and use removeMovieClip on that it removes referenes and deletes from the stage. Why is this? is there a workaround?
i.e.
Scenario 1:
myArray = new Array();
myArray.push(myMovieClip);
myArray[0].removeMovieClip();
trace(myArray[0]);
trace(myMovieClip);
traces out undefined, undefined but the movieClip is still visible on stage (and can still interact with)
Scenario2:
myArray = new Array();
myArray.push(myMovieClip);
myMovieClip.removeMovieClip();
trace(myArray[0]);
trace(myMovieClip);
trace out undefined, undefined and the movieClip is removed from stage
