removing a movieclip with a button

[silverswim]

Hi,

I have attached a movieclip to the stage and put the code on the first frame of the root timeline. I want to remove the mc with a button, so in the actions of the button I put

on(rollOver){
_root.removeMovieClip("mcName");
}

then rolling out would attach the mc back again.

but the mc wont go... is this to do with having to use duplicate mc in order to remove it?

thanks in advance, silverswim

Post your complete code.
How are you attaching this movie clip exactly?

Hi oldnewbie,
here is what I have done:
on the first frame of the main timeline:

_root.attachMovie("logoAndText","logoAndText1",100);

_root.logoAndText1._x=75;
_root.logoAndText1._y=380;


then on a button on the stage:

on(rollOver){

_root.removeMovieClip("logoAndText1");

}

then there is this bit for rollOut, but the thing hasnt got to it yet...

on(rollOut){
_root.attachMovie("logoAndText","logoAndText1",100);

_root.logoAndText1._x=75;
_root.logoAndText1._y=380;
}


This code attaches the mc to the right place, but on the button rollover the mc wont go

Try this line:

removeMovieClip(_root.logoAndText1);

instead of:

_root.removeMovieClip("logoAndText1");

 

[oldnewbie]

Or...

on(rollOver){
    _root.logoAndText1.removeMovieClip();
}
