Not sure about this one.

trace(this);
removeMovieClip(this["player"]);
trace(this);

The first trace displays the movieclip instance fine. Then the removeMovieClip, which SHOULD be removing an instance of "player" inside of it. Second trace reveals that the parent has been deleted instead.

What the hell??

Well it would be a better idea to control all game objects from a common parent instead of within itself. So from the document class or main frame or whatever you're using.

Can you removeMovieClip(this.player) instead ?

Not sure why its happening, never removed movie clips that way in AS2.
