ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX]Removing A MovieClip That Is Not Duplicated
Feb 1, 2003
I've seem to have hit a snafu in a small animation I am creating for my next tutorial. What I have, is a movie clip that gets duplicated when the space bar is pressed. The movieclip has actions setup so that when the movieclip reaches a certain y value, it will remove itself via this.removeMovieClip()
The problem is, every movie clip that is duplicated does remove itself like it is supposed to. The exception is the original movie clip that I duplicate from. That movie clip seems to want to stay and cause problems (it is not removing itself because it isn't duplicated via attachmovie or the duplicateMovieClip method).

I have attached a duplicate movie script action on a button to create a new copy of the clip (F900) with each press. This seems to work well; however, I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to create the script to remove the duplicated movie clipHere is the script I am using for the duplication and I did also attach the fla file:on (release) { _root.F900.duplicateMovieClip ("F900_"+"x", x ); setProperty ("F900_"+"x", _x, 300);setProperty ("F900_"+"x", _y, 200); x++;}Once I figure this out I would like to add different aircraft to it but that is not terribly important right now.

I was wondering if anyone could tell how I could go about removing or deleting movie clips that have been created with a for loop. Here is my code that I have attached to a movieclip on the main stage.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (i=1; i<=10; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip("_root.moveline", "_root.newline" + i, i);

I'm loading an image into a blank_mc within a movieclip called 'background_mc' using the MovieClipLoader object; when the onLoadInit for the MovieClipLoader object is fired, i then attempt to clone my 'backgound_mc' object and the loaded image it contains so i can do something with it (i,e a funky masky/blur thing, not important right now)I'm successfully loading my image into the blank clip within background_mc, the onLoadInit behaviour fires and duplicates background_mc once the image has been loaded, but in a disappointing turn of events, my clone of background_mc no longer has an image attached, and has instead reverted back to it's original form, just as ti was before it had the jpeg image loaded in.

I am trying to get some actions on a duplicated MovieClip Now what I got is something like this:
Actionscript Code: I have some loop wrapped around this so the 'i' changes.duplicateMovieClip("target", "new"+i, 100+i);// I use 'i' because i need a few of those...for(i=0;i<somenumber;i++){_root["new"+i].onEnterFrame = function(){//actions}}
And it won't work. Logically it just makes MCs "new1" "new2" "new3" and so on.And then it checks for those.If i put a MC named "new3" on stage, it works. I guess i'm just stupid and doing the duplication wrong or something.

I cannot find a solution anywhere for this issue. Searching the forum yields: "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: name"
Anyway, the thing is this.
I duplicate a movieclip several times, which is a button, and name the instances c0, c1, c2, etc. I want to use substring to extract the number behind this name when someone clicks on one of these buttons. I have the following function in the button:
Code:
on(rollOver) {
x = substring(this._name,1);
ripples._x = coords[x].split(",")[0];
ripples._y = coords[x].split(",")[1];
}
As you may guess, I need the number in the variable x. However, the pointer "this" apparently points to the level this button is on (_level0), and not the button itself. So "this._name" gives me nothing.
My question to you all is, how do I obtain the buttons instance name the user has clicked on? Or for that matter, any other property. How do I address the button itself, from the on(XXXX) function?
The code to spawn the buttons is (in a loop):
Code:
duplicateMovieClip("clickdot","c"+x,x+10);
setProperty("c"+x,_x,coords[x].split(",")[0]-8);
setProperty("c"+x,_y,coords[x].split(",")[1]-8);
Obtaining the coordinates instead of it's name would suffice as well.

I can't manage to load jpg in some duplicated mc. I tried to add the as to the container mc "img"
Code:onClipEvent (load){ this.loadMovie(_parent._name+".jpg"); which trace the correct path to the jpg but the jpg don't show up. (Which would be wrong as if I remember well, the mc when being duplicated loses the loadMovie part????To be confirm) So I thought that maybe the best would be to have it done while duplicating the movie but whatever I have beeen trying has been unsucessful. Here is the codes with duplicating mc.

Before telling you my problem in actionscript, I would like to explain on how the system works. Please bear with my long explanations.I have a list of data that need to be display out. I've created one movieclip and I named it table_mc. Inside the table_mc, I put 2 dynamic text and one blue box with alpha 0. In order to display a list of data out, I used a table component in flash to duplicate the movieclip, table_mc. It saved me from doing a "for loop".
I wanted the list of data to be clickable so I converted the 2 dynamic text in table_mc, into movieclip. I named it table_but. When I clicked onto table_but, the blue box will appear, alpha 100 to show that it is being clicked.Here's the problem. I've done an actionscript in table_mc. In the list example, when i clicked onto no '2', the blue box appear and if I clicked onto no '5' the blue box for no '2' should disappear. Unfortunately the blue boxes will appear there together when i clicked onto no '2', '5' and '7' because they shared the same movieclip table_mc. Is there a way to do it when the blue box can only appear at a time?

I've got a form with radio buttons which were duplicated depending on the response from the database. However, when they are selected (even though they have the same group name) it is possible to select more than one. I've got round this problem by adding the selected one to a blank array and removing it from an array with all the possible radio buttons in. This then enables me to get the selected value and use it, and However, the other values (which are in another array) still show as selected (i.e. the dot is in the middle of the button) which isnt good. I've set up a loop which should go through each value in the "unclicked" array and set the radiobutton corresponding to it to unselected. The code I have is below:
for (i=0; i < unclicked.length; i++)
{
_root.RB[i].radioButtoni.selected = false;

I have a movie in witch i duplicate a MC several times.
Example:
MC1 (template mc)
Duplicated to:
Movieclip1
Movieclip2
Movieclip3
I want to attach different action script codes to each of the newly duplicated movieclips. Each Movieclip should have different on(release) scripts.

Going from AC2 to AC3. I have made a script that creates a dot (myTag) and a text label (nameLabel) when a button is pressed. Then the user is able to drag and drop the dots. This is what my script does so far. I want the text label to be hidden when dragging and displayed at the place where the dot is when user stops dragging.
Here is my code:
var tagArray:Array = [];
var labelArray:Array = [];
var nameCounter:int = 0
addLabelKnapp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addLabel);
function addLabel(event:MouseEvent):void {

So all that works fine, except when I add a onRelease event to a duplicated MovieClip it does not seem to respond. So I was wondering if the duplicateMovieClip function does not copy the button inside the original MovieClip. The code for the button is

Is there a way to remove a class linked to a movieclip? For instance, I've got a ball (e.g. ball0_mc) that's placed in a target. The way the ball is dragged and dropped into a target is by using a class called Ball. What I would like to do is remove the Ball class from ball0_mc once it's been placed in a target so that it can't be dragged or dropped anymore.

Allright, this is what my code looks like:
ActionScript Code:
public function onRequestStart(navigationEvent:NavigationEvent):void
{
playScreen = new ZombieHorde();
[Code]....
When I do removeChild on playScreen, the movieclip just becomes invisible, it doesn't actually get REMOVED. Is it possible to delete a movieclip that you've created just like that?

I have a MovieClip that I dynamically add other MCs as children to. Now I'd like to have a function that removes ALL children at once. I tried a loop with (i < mc.numChildren) but somehow it will only remove even-numbered children, the odd ones stay on stage?

I have random buttons on the stage that I have set up so each one, when clicked, will load different movieclip.These movieclips load directly on top of each other in the exact same place.The problem I'm having is the previous movieclip does not clear off the stage when the the next button is clicked.I need to set up a condition that will remove the current movieclip when another button is selected to load the next movieclip.Below is part of my code that needs editing. I've been researching switch, else, and other conditional statements but can't figure out how to make this happen.I have the fla or swf file for viewing, let me know.

I 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 document class I have assigned the root of fla to theRoot movieclip as theRoot = MovieClip(this.root); And as my program proceeds I have added several childs to theRoot. Now at the end of my program I need to delete all the childs of theRoot. So,how can I do this without individually deleting single childs.

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 a function called changeMovie which is supposed to load a new movie/swf into a already established container.I can get the new movie to load (all these movies have sound embedded in them) but I can not figure out how to get the old movieclip out of memory.I can foresee an instance of memory overload in my application down the line.I am using Flash CS3 with AS3.[code]As it stands now, I can get the new movie to play and be shown but the old movie clip still continues to play "in the background - along with its sound".

I've currently got an array made up of Movie Clips, and a variable to tell us how long that array is. It looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
var coinArray:Array = [coin1, coin2]; //an array which contains all of the coins
var numCoinArray:int = coinArray.length; //how many objects are in the coinArray
I've got a function called collisionTest which tests a collision between two objects.
So, I've got a loop set-up so if my character and a coin collides, it removes the coin it collided with from an array. It looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
function coinCollect(evt:Event)
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < numCoinArray; i++)
{
[Code].....
Is this trying to reference my objects as something other than MovieClips and is finding them and not recognizing them? I'm completely lost on this and can't understand why it doesn't work.
