Target movieclip from an AS3 class file - remove/add Child

Halo.

I have a very simple question (for those who use external class files).

Assuming that I have a MovieClip manually added to Stage and I want to access it from inside my class definiton.

So the code would be:

MovieClip(root).MyMovieClip

But I can't figure out how to use remove/add Child in that kind of situation.

I will appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Correct answer kglad

if you can reference using that, you can remove using:

MovieClip(root).MyMovieClip.parent.removeChild(MovieClip(root).MyMovieClip);

and you can add to any displayobjectcontainer.

Just that line

MovieClip(root).MyMovieClip
