Loop through child movie clips in AS3 and AS2
To iterate through all children in a display object container…
ActionScript 3 Code Sample:
for(var i=0; i
ActionScript 2 Code Sample:
for (var Item in Parent) {
if (typeof (Parent[Item]) == "movieclip") {
Parent[Item].doSomething();
}
}

Try this:
var count:uint = mySprite.numChildren;
for(var i:uint=0;i<count;i++){
mySprite.removeChildAt(0);
}
Use the 0 (zero) index for removeChildAt as everytime you remove an item, it shifts everything in the display list down by 1.
