Try
this.removeChild(myChild);
parent.removeChild(myChild);
Without the myChild reference in the beginning.
Or set the child in the beginning.
ParentMCName.addChild(myChild);
Then you should be able to reference the parent if was defined when
creating the child.

strangely
trace (myChild.parent)
outputs
[object someObject]
but it doesn't work when I try to
remove via
myChild.parent.removeChild(myChild)
or via reference..
the child before was added simply by
addChild(myChild)

It sounds like what you are doing is
correct. Perhaps your child isn't on
the stage.
Try something like this:
if(child.parent){
child.parent.removeChild(child);
}
Which will only attemp to remove child if the parent
exists.
If you expect your child to always be parented, you might
want to yell
loudly about it:
if(child.parent){
child.parent.removeChild(child);
}else{
throw new Error("This child doesn't
currently have a parent.");
}

Maybe..
var childParent:Object = mychild.parent;
childParent.removeChild(mychild)
or
var childParent:Object = mychild._parent;
childParent.removeChild(mychild)
