Remove attached movieclip in reverse order of placement

Question

Is it possible in AS2 to remove an attached movieclip instance in reverse order? I want to give the user the ability to click an erase button and remove the most recent instance of an attached movie. I have tried .swapDepths and getting inconsistent results. Here is what I have:
this.onMouseDown = function(){
var drawdot:MovieClip;
drawdot = this.attachMovie("dot", "dot_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});
var nextdepth = this.getNextHighestDepth();
trace (nextdepth);
clear_btn.onPress = function() {
dot_mc.swapDepths(100000)
removeMovieClip(dot_mc);
Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

Perhaps using an array to store the movie clips names that are attached would work. Then you could use the array.pop() method to get the last element entered and remove it from the array at the same time.
I bolded the lines I changed/added in your code.
var i:Number = 0;
var dotArrays = new Array();
this.onMouseDown = function(){
var drawdot:MovieClip;
drawdot = this.attachMovie("dot", "dot_mc" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});
dotArrays.push(this["dot_mc" + i]._name);
var nextdepth = this.getNextHighestDepth();
trace (nextdepth);
clear_btn.onPress = function() {
var delete_mc = dotArrays.pop();
removeMovieClip(delete_mc);
Let me know if this works ok.
