How to remove only after the Tween move is over

I want the last statement removeChild(dropBall1); in this script, to be executed only after the Tween move is over. How do I do that? right now as it is, it gets removed right away.

function onClick10f1(e: MouseEvent) {

addChild(dropBall1)

removeChild(bigBall1)

dropBall1.x = 356.10;

dropBall1.y = 28;

var bigBDrop1: Tween = new Tween(dropBall1, "y", Regular.easeIn, 28, 156, 1, true);

removeChild(dropBall1);

don't make tweens local to a function.  they're liable to be gc'd before completion and import the tweenevent:

var bigBDrop1: Tween

function onClick10f1(e: MouseEvent) {

addChild(dropBall1)

removeChild(bigBall1)

dropBall1.x = 356.10;

dropBall1.y = 28;

bigBDrop1 = new Tween(dropBall1, "y", Regular.easeIn, 28, 156, 1, true);

bigBDrop1.addEventListener(  fl.transitions.TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenFinishF);

}

function tweenFinishF(e:TweenEvent):void{

removeChild(dropBall1);

}

When trying your suggestions I get error: " Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TweenEvent." and I do have the "import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;" Also took the var out of local

yes, again and import the tweenevent.

i'm not sure what you mean 'took the var out of local', but the code i posted is what you should be using.

p.s when using the adobe forums, please mark helpful/correct responses, if there are any.
