Magic persistent Flash Button

[karlectomy]

My button won't leave the stage.

I'm programming in AS2.0 using Flash MX2004

I attach the button "again" to the stage and its release function is gameOn where I remove the movie clip.

For some reason, It won't leave the stage...

I've tried to look at everything but maybe I'm missing something.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

function gameOn()
{
        again.removeMovieClip();
}
 
function gameOver()
{
        attachMovie("again", "again", 201);
    again._xscale = 120;
    again._yscale = 60;
    again._x = 280;
    again._y = 300;
    again.onRelease = gameOn;
}

Hi karlectomy!
That is no wroking because that's not the correct sintax to the removeMovieClip method.

The correct sintax is the following:

someMC.removeMovieClip(targetMC);
 

What this does is removing the targetMC that's inside someMC.
If your movieclip "again" is on the root I reccomend to to declare a global variable (that is, outside any function) calld home for example, and making it equal to this (I mean, the "this" pseudo-object), so the variable home, will always be the local root, even inside functions.
Then you can use this as follows:

var home:MovieClip = this;
 
function gameOn():Void {
    home.removeMovieClip(again);
}

Thank you very much,

I see what you're saying.

can I attach and remove movie clips from the stage?

You're welcome!

What do you mean? Dynamically attaching a movieclip to the stage?

More specifically is this correct?

 
stage.attachMovie("again","again",201);
 
again.onRelease = stage.removeMovieClip(again);

The sintax is correct, but you can't use Stage to do that, the Stage object only contains information about the movie, it is not a reference to the _root.

If you want to attach it to the root you can do as follows:

var home:MovieClip = this;
 
home.attachMovie("again","again",201);
 
again.onRelease = stage.removeMovieClip(again);
