I’ve checked out a few tutorials on this subject but I’m evidently too dense to understand them. I’m using the following code to attach some movieclips containing invisible buttons:

for (v=0;v\<HighlightedHexes.length;v++)  
{  
HexStore [HighlightedHexes [v].HexNoId].attachMovie(“mytile&button”, “newtile&button”+v , depth++);  
}

Later on I need to remove these buttons/movieclips and place another lot of them somewhere else. What code do I use to remove them?

I think this should work  
for (v=0; v\<HighlightedHexes.length; v++) {  
HexStore[HighlightedHexes[v].HexNoId][“newtile&button”+v].removeMovieClip();  
}
