This will erase the picture (or whatever the Member holds):

member(67).erase()

But if you just want to remove your picture from the Stage, instead of destroying the Member you can remove it from the Sprite channel:

sprite(1).member = 0

Or you can erase the image of a bitmap cast member by setting it to a blank image:

member(67).image = image(1,1,1)

The above line will set it to a white 1x1 pixel 1-bit image.

Won't that leave a white dot on Stage, Ben? Well, I suppose no one would see it...

It will, but he wants to erase the image in the 'stopmovie' handler, so you probably aren't going to see this.

Incidentally I often do this myself in 'stopmovie' if my movie dynamically creates images using copypixels, but I don't want them saved when saving my movie.

Eg, I have a placeholder image for a tile-mapped game. During play, I build a large tile-map image and display it using a cast member, and when I stop the movie in authoring mode, I want my placeholder image to revert back to a tiny blank image so as not to bloat my .dir source file
