@Ned: I just read you message I'll try the dropTarget test in a second...

In the meantime I thought this might work as well... every new event_obj I create in the main timeline, will also automatically create an area on screen called bin (which is in fact another Movieclip)...

Then I create a if statement inside event_obj that says

if event_obj (the mc I am dragging around) hits the bin movieClip, then remove event_obj...

something like this

  // Register mouse event functions

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, noDrag);

var bin:MovieClip = new mc_bin();

          addChild(bin);

          bin.x = 350;

          bin.y = 350;

// Define a mouse down handler (user is dragging)

function drag(event:MouseEvent):void {

          var dragged = event.target;

  dragged.startDrag();

          if(dragged.hitTestObject(bin)){

                    trace("ok");

          }

}

does that make sense?

yes! I did it!!!!!!

I revised the code and decided to remove the code inside the event_obj movie clip and put all in the main time line... I did this because I couldn't access the right informations outside the MovieClip itself to remove movieClips... The new code is simpler...

So, now, each time I create an event_Obj by clicking on a button on stage:

1)it places the new movieClip inside an array (eventArray)

2) it goes through the array again and adds three eventListener, respectively for dragging, notDragging and Touching

The Touch function simply checks wether the movie clip that is currently selected is actually touching an OBJ on stage called bin....if yes it returns a string in the output window (again just for feedback)...

Now I'll have to add a line in it to remove the targeted obj... shouldn't be hard...

//event's public methods;

var eventArray = new Array();

function newMcEvent():void

{

          var clip:MovieClip = new mc_event();

          addChild(clip);

          clip.x = 50;

          clip.y = 350;

          eventArray.push(clip);

          for (var i:int = 0; i<eventArray.length; i++)

          {

                    eventArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, touch);

                    eventArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);

                    eventArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, noDrag);

                    trace(eventArray);

          }

}

function drag(e:MouseEvent):void

{

          var dragged = e.target;

          e.target.startDrag();

}

function noDrag(e:MouseEvent):void

{

          var notDragging = e.target;

          notDragging.stopDrag();

}

function touch(e:MouseEvent):void

{

          trace("grrrR");

          if (e.target.hitTestObject(this.bin))

          {

                    removeChild

                    trace("ok");

          }

}

here it is.... Works liek a charm

function touch(e:MouseEvent):void

{

          if (e.target.hitTestObject(this.bin))

          {

                    //trace("FUOCO!!!!");

                    var len:int = this.numChildren;

                    for (var i:int = 0; i < len; i++)

                    {

                              var display:DisplayObject = this.getChildAt(i);

                              trace("display "+ display.name);

                    }

                    var g:String = e.target.name;//get the name of e.target to g

                    var nameOf:DisplayObject = this.getChildByName(g);//finds g inside list

                    trace("eve is in position "+this.getChildIndex(nameOf));

                    //trace("g is "+ g);

                    var indx:int = this.getChildIndex(nameOf);

                    //trace(indx);

                    removeChildAt(indx);

          }

          else

          {

                    trace("acqua");

          }

}
