This is one of the most annoying problems i faced, its very easy to attach movies on stage using following, 

myMovie.attachMovie("movName","newName",myMovie.getNextHighestDepth()); 

all is fine with this and no matter how many movies i add they will be on stage but when i want to remove the movies from stage i just do this

myMovie.newName.removeMovieClip();

however this line of code won’t remove the movie if the depth is greater than 1048575, usually this could happen while using version 2 components.It is really well documented by Adobe but hey who reads documentation unless necessary. I avoided this problem by just using fixed numbers for depths and it has worked beautifully. It might look simple but when this problem hits you it can be really frustrating.

Hi All, I have been working in Flash since 2000 but mainly as a hobby until June 06. Since that time i am working with Cyberflow Solutions  as Flash Developer. It has given me enough exposure to Flash so that i can call myself advanced programmer maybe not a thorough expert. I intend to post some of the general problems i have faced in Flash and how i have overcome them. Some of them might seem trivial to you but for many people out there it can be frustrating and really annoying.Also I want to move towards creating architectures for large scale projects and therefore i intend to publish a series of articles on Design Patterns and how can they be implemented in Flash along with few simple Flash tutorials. I hope you all might find them helpful and entertaining.
