Removing a Text Field?

Question

Sorry, this is probably easy to do....but I just can't figure
it out!!!! How do I remove a text field I created with the
following code? Thanks!!!!!
function addConsultation(sLinkage:String):Void{
if(oOpenedConsultation[sLinkage]!=undefined) {
oOpenedConsultation[sLinkage].swapDepths(nTopDepth8);
return;
function loadConsultation():Void {
var nWidth:Number = mcDisplayBackground2._width;
var nHeight:Number = mcDisplayBackground2._height;
var nX:Number = mcDisplayBackground2._x;
var nY:Number = mcDisplayBackground2._y;
this.createTextField("tArticle", this.getNextHighestDepth(),
nX, nY, nWidth, nHeight);
tArticle.multiline = true;
tArticle.wordWrap = true;
tArticle.textColor = 0x000000;
tArticle.html = true;
tArticle.condenseWhite = true;
function loadData8():Void {
var lvLinksContent:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lvLinksContent.onData = function(sHTMLData:String):Void {
tArticle.htmlText = sHTMLData;
var cssStyles2:TextField.StyleSheet = new
TextField.StyleSheet();
cssStyles2.onLoad = function():Void {
tLinks.styleSheet = this;
lvLinksContent.load("consultation.html");
cssStyles2.load("aof.css");
var nTopDepth8:Number;
var oOpenedLinks:Object = new Object();
mcConsultationButton.onRelease = function():Void {
loadData8();
gotoAndPlay(4);

Answer 1

is this code within a MC? then use _parent instead of _root.
the createTextField doesn't 'convert' a MC to a textfield -
it creates a textfield instance within the MC specified, in your
case here you've declared this.createTextfield - where ever the
scope of 'this' is is where the instance was constructed.
also make sure you remove the textfield before the
gotoAndPlay statement - although it should still fire.
