What is the correct way to check if a Movieclip exists, then remove it? AS3

You could try this...

if (mcInstance)
{
   removeChild(mcInstance)
}

haha, go as dot org

This doesnt work for me, returns the below error:

ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
      at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
      at index_fla::Centre_36/butc_click()

i want to remove the mc from the same stage that the button mc is placed

thanks for the reply

@CyanBlue Hey Jason!

@Jarmanje:

Where are you putting the code?

It looks like you're putting the code in something called "Centre_36" from a function called "butc_click". If you had your code on the timeline, your error would read something like: "at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/Untitled_fla::frame1()"

If you want the code in the movieclip, use:

parent.removeChild( x );

hi there! I figured it out with your help. thanks a lot

if(loadmcC.stage) {
removeChild(loadmcC)
}
