I am trying to get rid of movieclip that contains all my form fields when the form is submitted.  
I have it set to do the following:

```auto

onClipEvent (data) {
this.removeMovieClip()
}

```

It seems that the removeMovieClip() command only really works with dynamicially created movie clips. is that correct?  
Is there another way to get rid of a movie clip?
