title: How can I prevent MovieClips existing throughout multiple frames? (Flash, AS3)
body: <p>Heyya, Community!</p>
  
  <p>So, I've been programming in Flash ActionScript 3.0 for a few years, gradually relearning everything. However, I can't figure this out for the life of me -- I've been forced to use inefficient work-arounds since now. And I just needed to know, how can I stop MovieClips added via The Stage consisting through frames?</p>
  
  <p>Code;</p>
  
  <p>Frame 1;</p>
  
  <pre><code>import flash.display.MovieClip;
  
  var block_mc:MovieClip = new Block();
  addChild(block_mc);
  block_mc.x = 100;
  block_mc.y = 100;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then, on Frame 2...</p>
  
  <pre><code>stop();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I stop this issue from happening? If you want a more specific example, you can download the supplied .fla file.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an efficient work-around other than creating for() loops to delete my greater-than 100 MovieClips? Is there <em>no work-around</em>? Please help!</p>
  
  <p>Please note, to open the file you need a version of Adobe Flash Professional; I recommend using Adobe Flash Professional CC if you have it, since I used it.</p>
  
  <p>If you need any more details, just ask! &lt;3</p>
