Hi guys needing some help here. Basically i want to advance to frame 4 after (guy1) hits the hitTestObject (home1_mc).

This is the error i get:

ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
    at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
    at DNAGames2_fla::MainTimeline/exitFrameHandler()
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
    at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
    at DNAGames2_fla::MainTimeline/exitFrameHandler()

And this is my code:

function exitFrameHandler(event:Event):void{
if(guy1.hitTestObject(home1_mc)) {
        removeChild(guy1);
        removeChild(guy2);
        removeChild(guy3);
        removeChild(o1);
        removeChild(cherry1);

        gotoAndStop(4);         
    }       
}

the reason i have tried removing the child is due to them still being on screen after i switch menus for my game. any help is appreciated

Maybe you should also add in the handler:

removeEvetListener(EVENT_TYPE, exitFrameHandler);

If the listener is called twice you'll get that exact error - because the first time it removes the children and the second time you try to remove display objects which are no longer children of the container.
