Completely clearing out a child?

Question

I've having a problem when I am removing a child.  There is an area where you can choose a button to click(there are multiple buttons here).  Once you click a button it loads workss_mc and you can go back from there and workss_mc is being removed then work_mc is being added again.  The problem is once it is added again and you click on any of the other buttons the frame label from the previous session when it was clicked is still at that location.
Example:
http://iankemp.com/beta/SILVERCOLLECTIVEv7workingcs4.swf
Click Work -> Click any button there -> Click back -> Click a different button
Noticed that the playhead stays at the previous location:
Code:
This is placed on the main timeline:
var workss_mc:mc_workss;
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.buttonMode = true;
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    if (!workss_mc) {
        workss_mc = new mc_workss();
        workss_mc.addEventListener("closeButtonClick", onCloseClick);
        workss_mc.x = 225;
        workss_mc.y = 200;
    addChild(workss_mc);
    removeChild(work_mc);
function onCloseClick(e:Event):void {
    trace("clickedtrue");
    if (!work_mc) {
        work_mc = new mc_work();
        work_mc.x = 225;
        work_mc.y = 200;
     removeChild(workss_mc);
addChild(work_mc);
Code in workss_mc:
backss_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backssClicked1);
backss_mc.buttonMode = true;
function backssClicked1(e:MouseEvent):void{
     trace(this + ".backssClicked");
     dispatchEvent(new Event("closeButtonClick1"));

I have seen the code it is pretty complicated. I never used Time line programming.
Any ways here is a partial solution to your problem you have a lot to work on in this file
following is the code on your main timeline at frame with label "work"
stop();
var workss_mc:mc_workss;
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.buttonMode = true;
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    if (!workss_mc) {
        workss_mc = new mc_workss();
        workss_mc.addEventListener("closeButtonClick", onCloseClick);
        workss_mc.x = 225;
        workss_mc.y = 200;
work_mc.gotoAndStop("urbanflats");
    addChild(workss_mc);
    removeChild(work_mc);
function onCloseClick(e:Event):void {
    trace("clickedtrue");
    if (!work_mc) {
        work_mc = new mc_work();
        work_mc.x = 225;
        work_mc.y = 200;
    removeChild(workss_mc);
addChild(work_mc);
work_mc.twentythreecardthmb_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler1);
work_mc.twentythreecardthmb_mc.buttonMode = true;
function clickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
    if (!workss_mc) {
        workss_mc = new mc_workss();
        workss_mc.addEventListener("closeButtonClick1", onCloseClick1);
        workss_mc.x = 225;
