removeMovieClip help!!?!!

[JeremysFilms]

I'm making an API game, and I set up a hitTest so that when one MovieClip hits the other, they both are removed. Here's the if statement I wrote:

if (enemy.hitTest(mc)) {
removeMovieClip(mc);
removeMovieClip(enemy);
}

mc is the movieclip you control, and enemy is the movieclip that follows mc.

I want them both to be removed when enemy hits mc. With the code I wrote, nothing seems to happen, as if the code is completely ignored.

Could someone PLEASE help me!!

Try:

if (enemy.hitTest(mc)) {
mc.removeMovieClip();
enemy.removeMovieClip();
}

that should work.
well it does for me

removeMovieClip is a bitch.. try putting _root on the beggining of both..

I think you can't removeMovieClips that were created at the beginning of a flash, so you can remove ones that were attachMovie'd or created in an if statement (if space is pressed for example).

I have no proof though, just my suspicions. ¬¬.

Nope, it doesn't work.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I'M USING API, SO THE MOVIECLIPS ARE MADE DYNAMICLY!!

If the movieclips are both on different levels, can that effect a hitTest?

[JeremysFilms]

Anyone?

What do you ean by different levels? You mean depths?

If so, then no.. you have to use different depths :P

It shouldn't. Try this:

_root.onEnterFrame=function(){

if(enemy.hitTest(mc)) {
_root.mc.removeMovieClip();
_root.enemy.removeMovieClip();
}

}

Thanks Denvish. It worked!
