public clear() : Void

Removes all the graphics created during runtime by using the movie clip draw methods, including line styles specified with MovieClip.lineStyle(). Shapes and lines that are manually drawn during authoring time (with the Flash drawing tools) are unaffected.

Example

The following example draws a box on the Stage. When the user clicks the box graphic, it removes the graphic from the Stage.

this.createEmptyMovieClip("box_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
box_mc.onRelease = function() {
    this.clear();
};
drawBox(box_mc, 10, 10, 320, 240);
function drawBox(mc:MovieClip, x:Number, y:Number, w:Number, h:Number):Void {
    mc.lineStyle(0);
    mc.beginFill(0xEEEEEE);
    mc.moveTo(x, y);
    mc.lineTo(x+w, y);
    mc.lineTo(x+w, y+h);
    mc.lineTo(x, y+h);
    mc.lineTo(x, y);
    mc.endFill();
}

An example is also in the drawingapi.fla file in the ActionScript samples folder at www.adobe.com/go/learn_fl_samples. Download and decompress the .zip file and navigate to the folder for your version of ActionScript to access the sample.
