Hi All,

This is pretty strange, but I have encountered it more than once so I think there is something worng.

I have used mc.removeMovieClip()

But that in some projects does not work… I did trace for mc variable and it gives me the mc target path…

I dont understand… is my coding wrong or something else…Sorry cannot post fla …
