I'll bet if you trace the movieclip where your class resides from outside
the class (on the next frame or after a timeout) you'll find that the
movieclip no longer exists.
removeMovieClip is being scoped to the class itself, not the Global
function removeMovieClip.
Just use:
If the TextArea (or whatever object) is placed on stage manually, it will

Objects with a negative depth can not be removed through ActionScript, unless
they're swapped to a positive depth.
