What should I use: removeChildAt?

programming flash
1

Hello!

I have the following code which brings pictures from xml into a slideshow and upon pressing btnNext the next image slides on and the one that was on stage slides off… Now when I press btnBack the previous images slides on but a next image slides on too and they collide!!! :cantlook:

Would you be so kind as to review my code and tell me what I should use to eliminate the casualty toll! I was thinking something like removeChildAt, but that does not quite work how I have it set up. When I publish it, it removes my stage background… and then my btnNext… and then my btnBack… and then I can’t do anything…

Thanks for any help!!
