    <p>I'm an AS3 noob just trying to get more comfortable working with event handlers in Flash and build interactivity into my application. </p> <p>In the code below, I have created an instance of the DrawLineChart class called LineChart1. When I test the movie, it shows up on the stage just fine and when I click on it, I can use a trace command to get a string statement written to the output window. </p> <p>However, now I want to be able to click on LineChart1 on the stage and have it be removed. When I do that, I get an error message 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1.</p> <p>Could someone please explain to me why I'm unable to refer to my instance LineChart1 and what I need to do so that I can refer to it and remove it when it gets clicked? Also, I'd love to know why the trace statement works when I click on LineChart1 during runtime, but not the removechild command.</p> <p>I'm sorry if this question is too simple, but thank you all for your help in advance. I really appreciate it. </p> <pre><code>package{ import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; public class Main extends MovieClip{ var recWidth:Number = 250; var recHeight:Number = 550; var recX:Number = 50; var recY:Number = 50; var recScaleY:Number = 30; public function Main(){ var LineChart1 = new DrawLineChart(recX, recY, recWidth, recHeight, recScaleY); LineChart1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler); addChild(LineChart1); } function onClickHandler(e:Event):void{ trace("hello"); // This works. When I click on the LineChart1 MovieClip on the stage during runtime, I get "hello" as an output. removeChild(LineChart1); // throws an error 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1. Why? } } } </code></pre>
