ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 : Remove Multiple Movieclips From Tower Defence?
Mar 5, 2009
I have a tower defence and when you lose I have a button to go back to the main screen. Only problem is that I cannot find a way to remove the enemies from the screen as well. Here is all of the code for the game, because I figure I might as well give you everything now, than later. I also wanted to give you all my variable names that would be used...
Code:
stop();
// Params = Number, Health, Speed, Time between releases, Gold per creep);
_root.waves = [[10, 50, 2.500000E+000, 2000, 2],
[code]....

What I'm trying to do - remove/delete a movie-clip once a button has been pressed (Selling a tower)My problem - Is that from my limited knowledge none of the following work.
removeChild(myTower);
Turret.removeChild(myTower); - (trying to reference the class of the turret so that it can access the movieclip)
Turret.parent.removeChild(Turret)
Turret(root).removeChild(Turret)
This function is placed in the first frame of the source.fla where all main functions are.The turret has its own class defining its properties and such.Basically what i want to happen is when the button function is activated to remove the movieclip Turret and the class from running.

I am making a website with complete external xml data holding text and urls to images. I have several categories. One of the category has three sub categories as menu. When I click btn1 it gets the xml and start making text field, rectangles, lines and picture frame for thumbnails. Before that I use a single movieClip container to hold all that stuff and then point it to mask and scroller too.That is working fine. Now the problem is that when I click on btn2 I want to remove previous container and make a new one.
Now what happening is that it is creating one more container of different xml and putting over the previous one. I have used removeChild command and it is still not working. It only works if I use it alone and do not create a new container. All this process is done on a movieClip. That movieClip holds container, mask and scroller. The only thing that is made dynamically is the container. Rest of the items are on the timeline of the movieClip. I need to remove container inside of the movieClip and make a new container inside the movieClip.

I want to make a function that will remove every single mc symbol I've previously attached to a "mask" movieclip. So i created this:
removeAll = function(){
for(a in _root.mask){
a.removeMovieClip();
}
}
I thought if i do that itll remove each "a" it encounters but I guess I'm missing some part of that "for..in" syntax. Not sure how that works.

I've managed to add a bunch of movieClips dynamically from the library. But I don't how I can remove them ALL dynamically now.
I'd like to be able to remove all the buttons, and then add a new lot in afterwards.
Here's what I have so far:
It's not a syntax or a collision error,
Code:
var myBtn:myButton;
// I have a movieClip in the library with the linkage: "myButton"
function addButtons ():void {

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

I have 24 movie clips on the stage: my_menu.image_holder_mc1 thru my_menu.image_holder_mc24. I want to load an image in each one. How do I identify the holder which to add a child.
The Code I have so far is....
Code:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=24;i++){
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.name = "image_"+i;

I found a tutorial on the internet and have begun toying with it. I figured out what all the segments did and how they worked and effected the game (mostly through trial and error...) once i figured out what EXACTLY i had i started making changes.
-What i want - once the bullet hits a monster OR goes out side of the range of the gun it disappears and another shot can be fired (which is done automatically via my script no user input needed)
-What i have - when the bullet goes off the page (x>550, x<0, Y>400, Y<0) it disappears and another shot can be fired... obviously this is problematic to game play...

I am creating a tower defense game and I want to make a tower that shoots a bullet and every enemy that the bullet hits is damaged. The bullet can hurt multiple units. My problem is detecting if the bullet hits the enemies. Right now, I have the enemies in an array. With other towers, when an enemy is in range, the tower fires and when it hits its original target, it causes damage to that target.
For the tower I want to make, it will shoot the bullet the maximum range every time and I need it to damage every unit it hits on the way to that final destination.

I am hammering out a Tower Defense type game. I'm starting to design my custom unit mechanics. I've used numerous other tutorials for the framework here (largely one mans blog - credited in my AS3 file..) I want when a unit dies, that it runs a function - checks a field I've created within the unit called a 'tag' - and depending on that do other things. From within the kill() function I successfully call my infantryDeath() function, and I've verified within kill() it's recognizing the dead objects tag. I've verified the entry into infantryDeath() and that the tag is still the same.
Here's the problem:
function infantryDeath(creep){
//inGameMessage("infantryDeath() successfully called"); <-- works
//inGameMessage("Unit died with ID: " + creep.tag); <-- properly shows the ID of the "creep" it received
inGameMessage(this); <-- prints out _level0 (the id for the level itself)
if (creep.tag = c1) <-- the unit with this tag dies, and triggers this block successfully{
[Code] .....
I have no clue why the object I'm supposedly working with changes just by virtue of being within the "if" block. If I pass an object into a function shouldn't manipulating that object remain constant within that function?

I want to remove movieclips that have been named by a variable using a button:
this works where I actually name the movieclip (underlined bit)
removeMovieClip(_level0.canvas_mc.object1)
but if I try to remove the clip where the (object1) bit is a variable - nothing happens.[code]...

I've created an XML thumbnail gallery, and would dearly love to add a simple looping preloader animation to each of the thumbnails whilst they are still loading. I'm struggling to remove the preloader movieclip, once the corresponding image has been loaded.
I'm currently creating the new movieclips within the loop, so I'm having problems referencing them in the following load complete function. I gave naming the "spin_loader" instances a go (i.e. spin_loader.name = "spin" + i), and then trying to remove it in the "thumbLoaded" function ( i.e. project_mc.removeChild(getChildByName("spin" + spinNum)), where spinNum is the equivalent number to "i"), but I just can't seem to crack it.
Code:
function createThumbs()
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i<my_total_project; i++)

I have a slider on my stage that returns a number between 0 - 300 depending on where the user moves the slide.What I would like to do is add and remove movieclips as the user slides the slider so that the number of movieclips on the stage is proportional to the slider's value.An example: If the slider value is 300, I want 300 circles on the stage. As the slider moves down to zero, the number of circles on the stage decrease.I've been trying to think of the best way to do this. Should I use addChild and removeChild? Or just change the visibility?And what would be the best way to refer to each movieclip? Should I use an array? Or maybe an if/else statement?

I have a movieclip, let's call it MC1. Inside the actions timeline of MC1, I create a loader and when a button in MC1 is clicked, the loader is added to the stage with an image.
On my maintimeline, you can click a button to bring a second movieclip onto the stage, let's call it MC2. MC2 has the same set up as MC1 where you click a button within MC2 and it adds its own loader with an image to the stage.
The problem is, when I click on MC2, MC1's loader is still on the stage, and I'm having trouble getting rid of it! I tried removeChild(loaderfromMC1) within the actions panel of MC2 but it can't reference variables created in MC1? and I tried removeChild(loaderfromMC1) when the button on the maintimeline is clicked, but it seems that I still cannot reference the MC1 defined variable.

I have made 4 arrays and filled the with movieclips using the array.push(movieclip) method. I have then made a function that is supposed to remove everything in those arrays. This is the code for it:
[Code]...
But when I call this function it does nothing but remove p1s, p2s, p3s and p4s. Also when I type trace(s) in one of the for loops, it outputs 0 for some reason.

Code:

but it keeps tracing all subsubmenu_mc (that is subsubmenu_mc1, subsubmenu_mc2 and subsubmenu_mc3 when mc = subsubmenu_mc2)

The problem is that this code is in a frame and when I leave the frame the MovieClips I have created will still be there. I think this is because I'm creating a global MovieClip right? If so then is there a way to declare the MovieClips as local? [code]...

I have a for-loop that creates instances / duplicates of a movie clip that works like a charm:
[Code]...
Then I position each instance- and I fill an array with the number ("pg"), because: I also have the option to switch to a different view and at that point I want / need the MoveClips to disappear. So I have a function tied to the switching that goes through a loop for all instances of the movieclip copies (using the array with the IDs from the example above) and remove them.

I have a flash movie in which I've created something that functions similarly to a calculator. When the user clicks a button, depending which button was pressed and in which order, a series of movie clips is displayed from left to right in specific positions, using addChild. I have a button on the calculator which I would like to have function similarly to a 'clear' button on a real calculator. When clicked, it would remove only the movie clips that were displayed by clicking the calculator buttons. how I can remove only the movieclips that are part of the calculator display? Here are some
code samples.
var mcSelection:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
//check to see how many times a calculator button was clicked
function checkTime()
{
[Code].....
I've tried different variations of removeChild and removeChildAt, but either parts of the calculator are getting removed, or I remove the parts of the display one clip at a time instead of all together, or I get out of range errors. How do I target a certain range of movieclips to remove? Do I need to assign a specific range of levels when the new movieclips are added and then remove that range? It will be different number of clips and combination of clips every time.
