Hi Theodore,
In your case try
root.removeChild(mySprite);
btw: the use of root is not recommended though. There was a
discussion lately why. Maybe Jason is willing to illustrate in the
case of this example?

Hi Theodore,
When you say 'addChild(mySprite)' mySprite *is* the child of
something: the instance you call addChild on (addChild(mySprite) is
equal to this.addChild(mySprite))
To remove mySprite you have to call removeChild(mySprite) on the same
instance.
From the error it seems that myChild is not a child of the instance
you call removeChild on.
Did you trace mySprite.parent to see if mySprite is actually a child
of an instance? (traces null if mySprite is not a child of anything,
traces the parent if mySprite is added as a child)
parentName.removeChild(mySprite) does the trick then.

The Sprite is created ina function and is not neccessarily the
child of anything - although it is created via addChild(mySprite)
so I guess it is the child of something...
How can I find it an remove it?
Thanks!
