removeMovieClip

Question

What I can't find a way to do is to remove a movie clip once
a new frame is selected.
Example AS:
// ----- Popup Dialog -----\
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", 1);
this.midway_mc.onRelease = function() {
 var t:MovieClip = container_mc.attachMovie("popup1",
"popup1_mc", container_mc.level1);
 t._x = 410;
 t._y = 318;
 t.closer.onRelease = function() {
 t.removeMovieClip();
 };

The above works to remove from the current frame if the user
selects the closer button, but when you change frames to a new
frame the movie clip remains. I tried the a/s below but it does not
work. Any Ideas???

if (frame =! "_gameroom"){
 t.removeMovieClip();
 }
else{
stick("_gameroom");
};

When I put that code into the action script it did not work. But that got me thinking about what flash was looking for and that was the container_mc. So I put that into the action script in the next frame and it worked.

_root["container_mc"].removeMovieClip();

My initial idea was to put that script in an if/else loop so in the frame, but like you said once out of the call the var is no longer available.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

try using these:_root["popup1_mc"].removeMovieClip(); oreval("popup1_mc").removeMovieClip(). The life time of {t} is ended after exiting mouse action totrying to reference it that way will not work. Or you could try us loadMovieNum("popup1",20) and simple usunLoadMovieNum(20) to remove what ever is at depth 20 in this casepopup1
