hi,

I have little problem with understanding the removeMovieClip syntax. I'll show it on this sample scenario:

there's movie clip named "aa" on the stage. there's also button "cc". there's button in the library "bb", with name "bb" exported for actionscript.

in first frame of the movie is this code:

PHP Code:

aa.attachMovie("bb", "manas", 1); // create instance of "bb" as "aa.manas"

aa.manas.remove = function () {

trace(this); // shows _level0.aa.manas

removeMovieClip(this); // works

//this.removeMovieClip(); // don't work (when swapped with line before) - WHY?

} 

on "cc" button is this script:

PHP Code:

on (press) {

_root.aa.manas.remove();

} 

when "cc" button is pressed, instance of "bb" (named manas) in movie clip "aa" is removed. but only when there is this line: "removeMovieClip(this);"

when i comment it out and uncomment this: "this.removeMovieClip();", the instance in NOT removed

WHY? I thought that there should be no difference between "this.removeMovieClip();" and "removeMovieClip(this);"

I also tried this syntax "_root.aa.manas.removeMovieClip();" or "_level0.aa.manas.removeMovieClip();" but they don't work either.

anyone knows the difference between these two types of calling removeMovieClip ?? I mean between something.removeMovieClip() and removeMovieClip(something);
