   stage.addChild(myMC)
}

but when I try to remove the mc by:

stage.removeChild(myMC)

I get The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller error... any suggestions or work arounds?

Answer 1

You could try hiding and showing the movieClip, if possible. I think its a bit faster than removing and adding consistantly, code permitting. Keep in mind this is just a suggestion, someone smarter than me outta be able to help you out..
