remove movie clip help

[ColdLogic]

for(a=1;a<10;a++) {
_root["enemy-2-"+a].removeMovieClip();
removeMovieClip(_root["enemy-2-"+a]);
}

these are supposed to remove the clips, but its not working for some reason and comeing up with 0 errors, what am I doing wrong, Ive seen other post both those methods in example, but neither works for me, Im useing AS2. could anyone help me out?

the instance name is correct and the MCs are duplicated at runtime.
