Remove Movieclip CS3 AS3

[sheepysheep60]

Hi guys,

i have some rain (a movieclip of a drop of water) that falls to the bottom of the stage, when it hits the bottom, it starts at a random x position and falls again.

When the rain hits a box or the 'floor' i want it to play a splash movieclip (a 10 frame movieclip)

the problem is, this splash clip only plays half way through (or something like that, its so hard to tell). another attempt i had had the splash occuring in the same place and repeating sorry for being such a n00b.

package {
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.events.Event;
	import flash.events.MouseEvent;

	public class dripdrop2 extends MovieClip {
		var drip:MovieClip = new drop;
		var Box:MovieClip = new box;
		var Splash:MovieClip = new splash;
		
		var gravity:Number = 0.9;
		private var drips:Array;
		private var count:int = 30;

		public function dripdrop2() {

			init();
		}
		
		private function init():void {
			Box.x = (0 - Box.width);
			Box.y = stage.stageHeight - Box.height;
			addChild(Box);
			backg.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, doDrag);
			drips = new Array();
			for (var i:int = 0; i<count; i++) {
				var drip:drop = new drop;
				drip.y = -20*i;
				drip.x = Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
				drip.vy = Math.random() * 20;
				drips.push(drip);
				addChild(drip);
			}
			addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fall);
		}
		private function fall(event:Event):void {
			Box.x += 1;
			if(Box.x>stage.stageWidth + Box.width){
				Box.x = 0 - Box.width;
			}
			for (var i:Number = 0; i<drips.length; i++) {
				var drip:drop = drop(drips[i]);
				drip.y += drip.vy;
				drip.vy += gravity;
				if (drip.hitTestObject(Box)) {
					Splash.x = drip.x;
					Splash.y = stage.stageHeight - Box.height;
					addChild(Splash);
					drip.vy = Math.random() * 2 - 1;
					drip.y = -20;
					drip.x = Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
				}else if(drip.y > 400){
					Splash.x = drip.x;
					Splash.y = stage.stageHeight;
					parent.addChild(Splash);
					drip.vy = Math.random() * 2 - 1;
					drip.y = -20;
					drip.x = Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
				}
			}
		}
		private function doDrag(event:MouseEvent):void {
			stage.nativeWindow.startMove();
		}
	}
}

really sorry as well for my awful choice of naming the different parts... i.e. the line "var drip:drop = drop(drips[i]);" lol

any help, really really appreciated

The splash appears to be playing all the way through. The problem is that you only have a single splash. Each time a new collision is detected, the splash is moved to the new location.
