How to ripple delete a clip that has been broken out to individual items. (video and dual mono clips)

Question

I have several hours video with dual mono audio tracks that I want to adjust volume etc descretly.  I know I can "break apart clip items" to adjust each audio channel separately. But, after breaking apart the clip items, is there a way to ripple delete a section of video and both audio tracks at once?  I have tried selecting and deleting but can only delete one "track" at a time. I have assembled them into a compound clip and cut out a selection, but, after a couple of cuts, the I got phantom audio playing way out of sync. I have tried using the blade tool, but, when I make the cut(s), the second audio channel slides up to "track one"... Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

glad that worked out for you. Yes trace is your friend.
BTW you need to use the array notation for everything and it is generally not such a great idea to use _root -- just in case you later load content into another swf the _root will change.
So if this were me....
var sp:ScrollPane=quiltpane
var myContent:MovieClip=sp.spContentHolder.quilt;
And then later
myContent["square"+loopcount];
Easier to read, easier to type. You can give those different names that are more meaningful for you. Also you will get code hinting since the variables are typed -- you won't get that with the array notation. You could even do something like:
for(var loopcount=0;i<numSquares;i++){
var curSquare:MovieClip=myContent["square"+loopcount];
curSquare._alpha=blah blah
blah blah blah.
