I cant get this working at all, I have a movieclip that when it gets to frame 22 I want it removed from stage. As it gets to this frame it increases a variable by 100 and when I have it invisible it keeps increasing the variable infinitely which I dont want. How do I completely remove the movieclip from the stage (it starts placed on the stage from my library).
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get the following movieclip smallbutton to link to frame 5 on movieclip cont.The way the timeline is built is as so:content_mc > cont > (more mcs) > smallbuttonThis seems to be an issue from every answer I've tried so far since the movieclip "cont" is not being called in the main timeline; first there's content_mc and then comes cont.How would I go about getting the movieclip "smallbutton" to link to the 5th frame of movieclip "cont"?This is for AS 2.0So far I'm at:on (release) { _root.gotoAndPlay("cont"); _root.smallbutton.gotoAndPlay(5);
View 7 RepliesI placed a movieclip on the stage, what functions are there to remove it?
removeMovieClip(target);
Only seems to work on MCs which have been attached to the stage E.g.
attachMovieClip();
The _visible property keeps the movieclip there just keeps it invisible. What completely removes it? It is called tankCPU.
In my .fla file, I have a MovieClip (we'll call it Clip1) linked to a corresponding class defined in a separate .as file.There's a case where I want to create a new MovieClip (Clip2) where Clip1 is, then remove Clip1. This case is dealt with by a function in Clip1's class.So, when I get to removing I do:ActionScript Code:this.parent.removeChild(this)Now, if the DocumentClass created Clip1 and placed it on the screen, this goes fine. But if Clip1 was placed on the stage in the .fla file (by dragging and dropping), it looks like Clip1 is not removed. I think it does get removed, but for some reason it gets recreated. This is the problem.

I have two movie clips on the main stage: mcNav and mcContent1 (mcContent1 is located in the 2nd frame).
When I click btn1 which is a movie clip within mcNav, I want to go to the 2nd frame on the main stage where mcContent1 is located.
And then go to frame 10 within mcContent1 and stop.
Here's what I have:
btn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoFrame(2).mcContent1.stop(frame 10);
I'm trying a shooting game from an incomplete tutorial online. I'm trying to finish it off myself and hopefully learning more in the process but straight away I've hit a brick wall.The stage is 900 x 350. Bullets are fired from a turret near the center of the screen and will travel and eventually leave the stage at some point. I want to remove the bullet from memory and the display list once it has left the stage and can no longer be seen.I'm using a conditional if statement to check the x and y position of the movieclip, and if it outside the width or height of the stage then I want to remove it completely.
PHP Code:
stop();var angle:Number=0;var radiansToDegrees:Number=180/Math.PI;var degreesToRadians:Number=Math.PI/180;var currentTurretRotation:Number;var

I've got a movieclip animation which is added to the stage at the start of the .swf.Its an introduction to the game, and the user is encouraged to click on the movieclip to start the animation.Once the animation is finished I'd like the movieclip to be removed from the stage.Do I need to setup some sort of event handler which listens out if the movieclip has finished then start a function once its finished to remove it from the stage? Which methods look out for movieclips finishing?
View 1 RepliesThe reason I am trying to check to see if a movieclip is on stage or not is to remove it when someone clicks another section of the navigation. say they click work_mc, then they click a button in work_mc, this launches workss_mc. I want to check on the navigation is workss_mc is on the stage or not, if so remove it. This is what I have so far but it doesn't seem to be working..
Code:
nav_mc.skillsbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick3);
function buttonClick3(event:MouseEvent):void{
var workss_mc:mc_workss;
[Code]....
Now, on a certain event (KEY_DOWN in this case) I want to replace one movie clip with another, which seemed pretty easy. Add the new object, move it to the correct place, then erase the current object.Apparently it's not. If the MovieClip is added to the stage, when I call
Code:
this.parent.removeChild(this)
, the MovieClip gets removed, then it reappears.

View 3 RepliesWhat I am trying to achieve is to remove an array (containing a single MovieClip multiple times) from the stage alltogether, once you call an end public function. I can remove all the other Movieclips on stage (that are not in the array) using this.removechild(MyChild) The array is located in a package, calling another package where the MC is located, and put on stage with Event.ENTER_FRAME.
View 1 RepliesThis seems like it should be pretty basic, but after hours of searching for an answer I give up! All I want to do is write code on one frame to take action on another. So for a completely random example, let's say I'm writing my code on frame 1. In that code I'd like to add a movie clip at frame 10. How do I target frame 10? Working in AS3.

In more detail: I have 5 movieclips that act as my main pages on my main timeline. from inside let's say, from the 5th movieclip on frame 100 i want to move out of this clip and into the 3rd movieclip BUT NOT to go to frame 1 but move to frame 50 of the 3rd movieclip. I've tried everything but no matter what happens the first frame is always displayed, and i don't want that.

How can I access that textbox1 from the main timeline, when the MovieClip is not at its 3rd frame?
For example to change it to "Hello!"?
What I am trying to do is get a button to make a movieclip go to a specific frame. I have a movieclip that plays a set of frames up to the 100th frame, and then I tell it to go back to and play frame 1 again. However, at about 105, I have another set of frames that I want to play at the push of a button. How would I go about doing this?

So i am working on a pause menu for my game. I have an inventory box that has slots for weapons, powerups, and other items. I wanted different boxes that are specific to each type of pick-up (weapons, powerups, other). So I drew a box with 3 frames, it is set up similar to tabs in a web browser; click on weapons tab and you see your weapons in your inventory, click on powerups tab and you see the powerups etc...
In each frame I gave the inventory slots different instance names, i.e. in weapons; weaponSlot1, weaponSlot2, and in powerups; powerupSlot1, powerupSlot2.
When the player bumps into an item, i use gotoAndStop('frame number') so that each item is added to the proper inventory slot. the only problem is that if i bump into a key then pause the game, the key is there (under 'Other' tab), but if i click the 'weapon' tab and then go back to 'other', the key is no longer there.
This makes sense because when you click on each tab, i use gotoAndStop('frame number'), and in each frame the inventory slots are blank, so im stumped on how to keep each item in the proper slots?
I am going to i upload all my files in a zip, the main file that you will want to look at is the PauseMenu.as file
Also you will notice 3 public functions called 'checkWeaponSlots', 'checkPowerupSlots', and 'checkOtherSlots'. These are called in my main file, when the player bumps into an item, these functions are called to check which slots are empty.

View 17 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 with AS3. I'm building a website for a friend the problem I have. When a user clicks on a button I want it to play a movie clip then stop at a specfic frame. I want all the buttons to play the same movieclip but go to a different frame.
The current actionscript I am using is located on frame 1 is:
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homebuttonClicked);
function homebuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(0)

function aboutbuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("aboutme")

This allows me to navigate to the right frame but does not play for obvious reasons, if I use the gotoAndPlay function its carries on playing to the end of the movie.
Anyone knows if there's a way of calling an specific frame or movieclip from a loaded xml file?

I've been looking and googling and i havent found any solution to this.
