[font=Arial] I have a move-symbol which is draggable, I would like it to be removable I thought the below script would do it but obviously not - any ideas anyone? - The dragging all works, it’s just the removing that is faulty

on (press) {  
startDrag("");  
}  
on (release) {  
stopDrag();  
}  
on (keyPress “\<Space\>”) {  
currClip.removeMovieClip();  
}[/font]

Make sure that the movie clip is at a removable depth (0+). Try this:

```auto
currClip.swapDepths(1000);
currClip.removeMovieClip();

```
