[precimonito]

hi... i have a problem ...
i duplicate movie clips in my movie... and this work right... but i need remove them later...
i read about how to use removeMovieClip... but doesn't work... and i don´t know why...
i have questions about it:
-- the movie clips created by duplicateMovieClip are base movie clipe children's?
-- what is the difference between the method MovieClip.removeMovieClip() [without arguments] and
removeMovieClip(target)?
if anyone can help me... let me know... please
