error in removechild...

You would use removeChild(e.target), or removeChildAt(indexOf(e.target)). Also put a trace statement inside your file right before the remove child to see what the object is that is actually receiving clicks. Also why do you draw the circle twice? By declaring the same variable "_circle" a new sprite twice the first circle gets deleted.

try

removeChild(event.target as Sprite);
