Random array MovieClip Disappears

[Alex_95]

I'm using a Timer event function  to add random MovieClips from an Array, they base class makes them move from right to left.

var theArray:Array = new Array(mc1,mc2,mc3......)

function startIt (event:TimerEvent):void

{

       var theMovieClip =  new MovieClip();

      theMovieClip  = theArray[int(Math.random()*theArray.length)];

       theMovieClip .x = stage.stageWidth;

       addChild(theMovieClip );

}

but sometimes the Movie Clip disappears, so my question is why?

And another Question, how can I remove them once they leave the stage?
