I've not tested this code but I'm pretty sure it won't work in its current state. When you remove a child then the childIndex of all the siblings are reordered. So what was previously at childIndex 2 will become 1 and so on.

The correct way to do this is to change _movieClip.removeChildAt(i); to _movieClip.removeChildAt(0); - you will still walk through the children and remove all of them but without throwing any errors.

xerode said true, other we can use

while(_movieClip.numChildren>0) { _movieClip.removeChildAt(0); }
