removeMovieClip() wierdnesses

I got a duplicateMoveClip creating / duping the movie objects

I give it a id

dupe(id)
{
duplicateMoveClip(_root.objs, "object"+id, id);
}

all works cool, now on the removing is the isse

remove(id)
{
removeMovieClip("object"+id);
}

This works if the id is 0-9, but if I go above 9 if dont work.

I have a if(movie) inthe remove and it is saying "yes the move 11 exists" and then "removed object11" but the object does not get deleted, I can still access the object.

Any ideas?

cheers

You are not implementing removeMovieCLip correctly. Are you using MX or 5?

Code:

remove(id)
{
  _root["object"+id].removeMovieClip();
}

Yeah, I tried both ways, as an action and as method, or what ever they call it.

Code:

_root["object"+id].removeMovieClip();

and

removeMovieClip(_root["object"+id]);

Although for some reason as I was setting the depth to the same ID/name as the object the depth turned out to be >36,000, so I started to gove the depths parameter a value and increment it ever time, which in turn as solved the issue. All working

Thanks dude.
