Removing a movie clip -

Code:

---

I have the following code:
for (var i = 0; i<amount; i++) {
thisFlake = this.attachMovie("snowflake1", "snowflake1"+i, i);

---

It places the movie snowflake1 on the stage in my Pre-Load Scene.

Then when I play the movie the snoflakes work right, but when the pre-loading is done there are falling snowflakes on my next scene, even though there is no code for the snowflakes in that scene.

I have tried numerous ways to remove the clip:
this.removeMovieclip("snowflake1")
delete "snowflake1"
this.removeAll

Please help as I am getting tired of flakes where they don't belong. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Greg

Change the first code to this:

Code:

---

for (var i = 0; i<amount; i++) {
this.attachMovie("snowflake1", "snowflake1"+i+"_mc", i);
}

---

Then to remove it:

Code:

---

for (var i = 0; i<amount; i++) {
this["snowflake1"+i+"_mc"].removeMovieClip();
}

---

am i seeing double :)
or wasn't this question asked and resolved yesterday in the Actionscript forum ?

Oh, I see what happened... gregwhitworth made this thread, then when nobody responded, he made a new one in the Actionscript forum. I think it says somewhere in the directions NOT to post duplicate questions. gregwhitworth, in the future, try to mark questions as "Resolved," so people don't waste their time re-answering an answered question (not to be harsh ;))
