I don't have the option to create the textfield dynamically.
So I have to put it there from the Flash IDE and it automatically
gets a negative depth, like all instances that are created this way.

Why in the first place you want to use negative depth?

Hey,
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
Tom, in order to remove the textfield, as you say, you will have
to swapDepths() first, which unfortunately doesn't work on TextFields.
That's why I started this thread in the first place.
I just found this suggestion in a forum:
TextField.prototype.swapDepths = MovieClip.prototype.swapDepths;
A little hack that lets you swap textfields. Didn't try it yet but I
guess
it works.
Do you all think it's something I wouldn't mind putting in? Or is it too
dirty?
I think it's ok.

someone posted a function the other day on here that means you can
remove
clips on a negative depth. the basis of it was a swapdepths before the
remove as I recall, have a look. might even have been yesterday...

WOW!
I never knew Flash would not remove _mcs with negative depth. I just
tried it and it and it won't work. I guess you learn something new
every day.
import flash.geom.Rectangle
import flash.display.BitmapData
_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("rect_mc",30000);
_bdm = new BitmapData(300,200,false,0xFF0000);
_mc.attachBitmap(_bdm,0);
_mc.onPress = function(){
trace("removing")
this.removeMovieClip();
}
