Hi!

I am currently in the process of creating this drag and drop game. It uses swapDepths to change the levels/depths of the objects (MCs) on the stage.

Here’s the problem - to display the MCs correctly, i have to use swapdepths. However if i use this function, the MCs remain on the stage when i move on to the next keyframe…is there any function or way to remove this?

Can someone please please help me… i’m desperately in need of assistance!!

Thanks!  
sb

Hi sb,  
To remove movie clips from the scene, you can use MovieClip.removeMovieClip(); :crazy:
