Removing/hidding a MC permentally

[Vaux]

Hi, I'm wanting to remove/hide a mc permentally. I though visible = false would hid it but when you go forward a frame and then back a frame the mc is back.

function pickupKey(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
	gotKey = true;
	door_key.visible = false;
	removeChild(door_key)
}

Thanks,

i know it's a very kludgy solution, but you can do this:

door_key.x = -30000

When you are comming back to the frame, it restarts it completely, if you have there a code which puts the mc on the stage or mc is putted by defaut, then it will be there again.

sounds like the script is being initialized each time that frame is reached, is the script on the Frame?

sounds like you should set up a condition to check if the key has been retrieved.
if retrieved = true. don't run that script.
