I’ve added and implemented a sound like this:

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“kik1\_mc”, -100);  
kik1 = new Sound(“kik1\_mc”);  
kik1.attachSound(“kik1”);  
kik1.setVolume(0);  
kik1.start(0, 99);

However, at some point I want to not only stop the sound, but I want to remove it.

I thought the logical way to remove the sound is to remove the clip that contains it, so I did the following:

kik1\_mc.removeMovieClip();

However that didn’t work, and the sound continues playing. So I then realized maybe it’s the object that needs to be removed, so I tried:

kik1.removeMovieClip();

But that didn’t work either. Anyone know the proper way to remove this sound/clip completely? Thanks.
