Removing Child (a sprite) containing (dynamic textfield) child - PROBLEM?

phatmambo · May 12, 2010, 12:22pm

I really need some help from you guys

I have created 2 sprites each containing a dynamic text field child. I then add this as a child of the stage. (I have done this in order to make the text clickable with a hand cursor on mouseover)

It loads in fine, I just run into problems when trying to REMOVE it the sprite containing the text.

“ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.”

Any hints from you guys out there?
