Removing MCs attached to other MCs

programming flash

In the code I am working on I am attaching MCs to other MCs. However, when I remove the second MC the first one gets removed too. HexStore contains a load of game hex MCs. LastLocation is the last hex MC clicked. myBrigade is the extra MC that needs to be removed from the LastLocation MC. Here is the code:

_root.HexStore[_root.LastLocation].removeMovieClip(_root.HexStore[_root.LastLocation][“myBrigade”]);

Any idea where I’m going wrong with this?

_root.HexStore[_root.LastLocation]

takes you right where you want to be, then you added

.removeMovieClip(_root.HexStore[_root.LastLocation]["myBrigade"]);

try this:

_root.HexStore[_root.LastLocation].removeMovieClip("myBrigade");

Sorry Smee, that didn’t work either. The original MC still got removed. Any other ideas?

so, i am supposing that [_root.LastLocation] is a variable on _root?
