removeMovieClip doesn't work after a scrollPane has been placed on the stage

[rsouthgate]

Hi,
I have some fairly straightforward classes that all operate fine when a scrollpane has not been placed on the stage.

But when I place a scrollpane on the stage the line

this._parent.popUp.removeMovieClip()

doesn't work. It isn't specific to the name of that clip either - all removeMovieClip calls seem to fail.

I've had a little look around and can find no mention of this as a bug so I assume it's something stupid I've done. Can anyone give me any pointers?

removeMovieClip() only works with clips which have been dynamically attached or loaded into your movie. To be able to dynamically remove a movie clip completely, you will need to dynamically attach it too:


this.attachMovie("myClipInstanceName", "myLibraryClip", this.getNextHighestDepth());
//
this.myClipInstanceName.removeMovieClip();
