ok... i have a movieclip (surprise :D) and it looks like this


layer 1 has a circle called/instance "bubble"..

layer 2 looks like this

//frame 1
Count = 0;
bubble._xscale = 0;
bubble._yscale = 0;

//frame 2
count += 5;
bubble._xscale += 5;
bubble._yscale += 5;

//frame 3
if (count<100) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
gotoAndstop(4);
}

//frame 4
removeMovieClip("this");

basically the circle is supposed to expand and then the movie clip remove itself from the main scene (i'm using duplicatemovieclip to create a kind of star field)
it works just great apart from the clip wont remove it's self, it will either loop or stop depending on the else statement...
anyone know why??
