You need to get a reference to it. I recommend simply storing the one
you used with addChild.

Hi Theodore,
When you say 'addChild(mySprite)' mySprite *is* the child of
something: the instance you call addChild on (addChild(mySprite) is
equal to this.addChild(mySprite))
To remove mySprite you have to call removeChild(mySprite) on the same
instance.
From the error it seems that

Hi Theodore,
In your case try
root.removeChild(mySprite);
btw: the use of root is not recommended though. There was a
discussion lately why. Maybe Jason is willing to illustrate in the
case of this example?

Store a reference to each object in a vector like this:
var bars:Vector.Bar=new Vector.Bar();
function createBars():void {
for (var i:int=0; itotalbars; i++) {
var bar:Bar = new Bar();
...
You could create an empty array (outside the functions)
And add each newly created bar to the array.
Afterwards, say in another function, you can reference the array
indexes.
Something like:
myBarsArray = new Array();
function createBars():void
{
for (var i:int=0; itotalbars; i++)

We're talking about only nine instances here. It
More than one way to get things done. Depends on your needs. Check out
DisplayObjectContainer in the docs.
var barMom:Sprite = new Sprite();
this.addChildAt(barMom, 0);

Doesn't storing them in an array create a set of references that will
need
to be cleaned up?
Absolutely (if the app performance even needs cleaning up and/or the
items are even removed). But that's easily taken care of with a cleanup
function. So for small uses, as I mentioned, may not be
yeah, horses for courses...
if you want to better encapsulate stuff, i find it easier to work with
arrays (in fp10 vectors) and pass them around if needs be. tying your code

code imho.
