UnloadMovieClip VS removeClip

[fireburner69]

Hello,
my problem is that:
I am playing around with some buttons and I use one to duplicate a mc with this code.
var mc_name:String = "demo";
duplicateMovieClip(_level0.target_mc,mc_name,_level0.getNextHighestDepth());

Everything is smooth and working fine.
Inside this target_mc I have a close button.
And I have stored this code:
on(press){
unloadMovie(this);
//removeMovieClip(this);
}

Well the unloadMovie is not working!!
When I try the 2nd one it is fine but after that I can not recreate the mc with the duplicate.

What I am doing wrong?

Have in mind that with the same method I have used it to create a button and its working ok!

I can not understand why this is not working!?

Thanks in advance for your help.

1st of all sorry to the title I know its wrong!
And second
I have made a mistake.
The command that is NOT working is removeMovieClip(this);
And the one that works but not exacly how I wanted it to is unloadMovie(this);

Thanx again!

Have you tried...

_level0.mc_name.removeMovieClip();

mc_name being the name you gave the duplicate when creating it?

on(press){
_level0[this._parent].removeMovieClip();
trace(this._parent);
}
also tried
on(press){
_level0[this._parent._name].removeMovieClip();
trace(this._parent);
}

And again its not working.

You see I create hte movie with dynamic names and thats why I do not use direct reference to the mc!

Nothing is working!

Can you post a link to a MX only (not MX2004) small mockup .fla replicating the problem?

You'd have a better chance of getting an answer if your .fla was in a MX only format, and zipped up.

You would have to save a copy of your MX2004 .fla, (using Save as...) and changing the Document type to MX only in the Save as... window.
