setInterval (function () {
	duplicateMovieClip(rock,"rock"+i,100+i);
	rockCopy=_root["rock"+i]
	rockCopy._x = 700;
	rockCopy._y = random(100)+200;
		if(rockCopy._x <= 50){
			removeMovieClip(this);
		}
	 i++
}, 1000);

Try tracing its depth. trace(MC.getDepth()). See what you get.

You are setting the objects _x to 700 then checking to see if its less than 50. That if statement will never run.

there is code on the enterFrame that moves its _x -=30

Thats all well and good but the if statement will next check after it's created. Put that if statement inside your onEnterFrame.

Cojones is correct. You're only checking it when its first created, at which point its _x is 700.
