Hi, I just tried out the removeMovieClip function and it doesn’t seem to be working. Any ideas? this is what I had for a code.

```auto

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
 if(_root.square.hitTest(this)){
  this.removeMovieClip();
  _root.boxs-=1;
 }
}

```

boxs is a synamic text field.  
I have tried removeMovieClip(this); and more. But so far nothing has worked.
