Dynamically detroy movieclip?

[dante2010]

Is there a way to dynamically destroy or remove a movieclip in actionscript?

Right now I'm setting the ._visible to false, but I'd rather be able to just delete the movieclip alltogether.

this.removeMovieClip();
delete this.whatever;
removeMovieClip(this);
unloadMovieClip(this);
this.unloadMovieClip();

my_clip.unloadMovie();
