Remove clip and begin another clip by pressing button

At the end of a movie clip, I have a button. The button has the following action script assigned to it:

on (release) {
_root.unloadClip("BlueBall1hit");
_root.attachMovie("PuttingValues", "PuttingValues_mc", 2);
}

I want to run the "PuttingValues" clip when the button is pressed. This works for me by only using the second line of the script, however, I can still see the clip "BlueBall1hit" behind it. So, I tried adding the first line of script to remove "BlueBall1hit". This didn't work.

What script should I use so that only the "PuttingValues" clip is displayed?

Thanks in advance!

I tried both:

on (release) {
_root.unloadMovieClip("BlueBall1hit");
_root.attachMovie("PuttingValues", "PuttingValues_mc", 2);
}

and:

on (release) {
_root.removeMovieClip("BlueBall1hit");
_root.attachMovie("PuttingValues", "PuttingValues_mc", 2);
}

and got the same results. I can still see the first movie in the background.

Any other suggestion? Or is it maybe because I'm using _root?

Thanks!!
