i'm adding a movieclip from the library to the stage, then moving it with the Tweener class and finally want to remove it when all is done. As you can see from the code i'm getting a trace when i get to the removeClip() function that i made, everything works up to here. I'm just not sure how to use removeChild and how to identify the instance that is created by addChild. Any help would be brilliant

pass the name of the bluecircle that you want to remove. (bluecircle extends the movieclip class, correct?):

give each newCircle a different reference or, even easier, give each a different name and use the getChildByName() method to remove the BlueCircle() instance that you want.
