Delete Indisvidual graphics?

[ionarawilson1]

I have a tool that creates labels (graphics) when the user clicks on a button and then on the map. Is there a way to delete these labels one by one? Thank  you!!!  Here is the code:

 private function addtext():void  {       myMap.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK, onClickFunction);      }       private function onClickFunction(event:MapMouseEvent):void       {            const mapPoint:MapPoint = event.mapPoint;    mapPoint.spatialReference = new SpatialReference(102100);            var myGraphicMarker:Graphic = new Graphic(mapPoint, new TextSymbol(labeltext.text,null,0x000000,1, tsBorder.selected,tsBorderColor.selectedColor,tsBackground.selected,tsColor2.selectedColor,placement.selectedItem,angle.value,xoffset.value,yoffset.value,new TextFormat(myFont.selectedItem, tfSize.value, tsColor1.selectedColor, tfBold.selected,tfItalic.selected, tfUnderline.selected),      null,null));    theTextGraphic = myGraphicMarker        //myGraphicMarker.toolTip = "Marker added with ActionScript";    pointGraphicsLayer.add(theTextGraphic);    pointGraphicsLayer.refresh();      }

Thank you Mark.  Where do I call the application1_creationCompleteHandler function? do i call it in the creation complete of the graphiics layer or the application? Thanks

I added in creationComplete of the application,
but it could be with the map's creationComplete.

Here is the full test app. (this was is with 2.5 arc gis flex api. The textSymbol for latest api is slightly different with an alpha parameter. I added a commented textSymbol which should work with newer api, but untested by me.).

Thank you so much Mark. It worked. I might create another thread to ask questions about this issue with new code I created because I am curious to what I am doing wrong, but this is also a great solution and I am going to include in my app! Thanks again for your time and interest in posting this!!!
