A semi retarded question...

I feel kind of stupid for asking this, but what is the command for deleting a movie clip that isn't made with duplicateMovieClip, but is placed on the stage manually?

give a name of "the_mc" to your movieClip and then add this on the main timeline:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("square_mc", the_mc.getDepth());
square_mc.swapDepths(10000)
square_mc.removeMovieClip();

you crate a mc at the same depth so the former mc gets removed then you remove the new one and that's it.

thanks for the help. After no one answered, I just gave the movie clip a second blank frame and used gotoAndStop when I wanted it gone, but that will be very usefull in the future (even if I don't exactly know what it does). Being a noob sucks.
