Removing movieclips in AS2 - Help?

[savagehare99]

Does anyone know how to remove movieclips in AS2?
Help
Here is my code so far:

on enterFrame = function (){
if (root.Player2.hitTest(root.Coin3)){
Coin_3.removeMovieClip();
score += 1;
}

Note: Player_2 and Coin_3 are both instance names. The code is also assigned to the frame, not the clips.

two things,
1, how did you add them, through action script or by dragging them onto the frame?
2, why is your function like that, shouldent it be onEnterFrame = function?

Ditto.
Also if you dragged them into scene ( if they were there when the movie started ) you cant get rid of them otherwise Coin_3.removeMovieClip(Coin_3) or what you did cant remember
If you want to get rid of them make sure there not there and use attachmovieclip fuction K

Or have an off screen Mc to duplicate but i wouldnt suggest that

also . Use AS3 and make a classes, its better

Yes you can. You just have to give it a positive depth (using swapDepths()) before removing if you didn't add the MC via code as it will by default have a negative depth. His function was right. If you do Coin_3.removeMovieclip(Coin_3) then you're looking inside Coin_3 for an mc called Coin_3 which isn't right.

My mistake, i said i couldnt remember
Any way thats right just give it a positive depth
