Remove start banner at first tap?

Hi, I’m making a a little thing and what I’m trying to do is get the start text at the top to remove when the screen is tapped. I have that working, but once you tap again it comes up with an error saying it’s a nil value. Any help?

The function for removing the text is the following:

[lua]function touchScreen( event )

    if event.phase == “began” then

        print(“touch”)

        PlayerScore.text = "score: " … score

        score = score + 1

        startBanner:removeSelf

    end

end[/lua]

I know why it’s throwing up the error, but I don’t know how to fix it.

change startBanner:removeSelf() to display.remove(startBanner)

Thanks! It works now!
