Why, why, why?

I have a balloon. When I press on it it has to be removed. So I use this code.

Code:

 
on (press) {
	_root.removeMovieClip("balloon1");
}

Now I wonna know why it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me that?

as far as I can see, you can only "removeMovieClip" that you have loaded dynamically with script (attachMovie("blue", "blue1", 1); (frame action)
then you need to put script (on a button) like this

on(press){
removeMovieClip("_root.blue1");
}

Is this true?

When I test it,

_root.removeMovieClip("blue1"); does not work, but removeMovieClip("_root.blue1"); does.
