Hi.

I´d like to know, if there´s any other way, maybe through polymorphism, to remove a movieclip from the main stage outside the current scope. Example:

MovieClip(parent).mc.removeChild(MovieClip(parent).mc.circle)

This line of code removes a movieclip which is outside the current scope.

There´s any other way to do this?  
A more organized way maybe?  
Through polymorphism?

Thanks 🙂
