I need to unload my movie clip. Here is the AS I used:
annie.onPress = function() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("annie.swf", "container");
container._x = 380;
container._y = 190;

Problem is I only want it to show in one scene and it is covering everything on the other scenes as well or "Pages".
I've just recently made the leap from AS2 to AS3 and after several days of reading the CS4 help and searching posts here, I'm still at a loss how to get my first AS3 project off the ground.I'm working on an illustrated choose-your-own-path story with each step split into seperate swfs to speed up loading time.I've got a main file loading a scene swf using.[code]The loading works fine (although I've just found a post that suggests I should wait until the swf loads before adding it as a child), but how would I then get the buttons in the loaded swf to tell the main swf which swf to load next?I'm stumped firstly by that, and additionally by how I should then UNload the swfs. Is it not common practice to refer to objects by their '.name' in AS3? Should I be loading the swfs into an array?
View 1 Repliesi have designed a flash projector using as3 in which I have successfully loaded an external swf onto frame 2 of my first scene called "start". i want to include a Restart button in a later scene called "intro", which will unload the external swf as well as restart the entire presentation from frame 1 of my "start" scene. my problem is that I can't figure out how to tell my Restart btn, located in the "intro" scene, to look in the "start" scene to unload the external swf - i need to eliminate the "1120: Access of undefined property..." error when working in multiple scenes.

how to load/unload MC's on my MC container? I have a menu with a lot of buttons and each one loading on the stage (inside a MC container) a movieclip that it's on the library.
Plus 1: the old movieclip is totally replaced by the new movieclip.
Plus 2: I think that change the visibility not is a good option cuz the old movieclip can still playing, right?
I know that load and unload SWF's can be more simple (I already use this) but I just wanted to try something different (do not work with a lot of SFW's on my project)

I would like all the instances of my movieclip to unload once a variable has reached a certain number.
So that when the movie goes to the next frame, all the movieclips are unloaded.

View 1 Replies(ps: everything happens on the maintimeline)when a user clicks the photobutton this code triggers:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("photo"+photoNum, getNextHighestDepth());
this["photo"+photoNum].attachMovie("photo", "photo", getNextHighestDepth());
now the movieclip "photo" consist on another movieclip that does the actual picture display/loading with some AS> photoHolder < loads the actual picture,so i thought ok,logically its
_root.photo.photoHolder.removeMovieClip();
maybe even _root["photo" + photoNum].photoHolder.removeMovieClip();
or _root.photo.removeMovieClip();
etc
i tried numerous other structures but i just can't get it to work, for some reasons i just can't unload the movieclip that shows the picture.

View 2 RepliesI have an AS3 project (publishing to FP10) where I load a custom made window from the main movie. The custom made window is saved in the Library and has a close button (called exitinteraction_btn).
I manage to load the window from the main movie with the following:
var WinA = new windowa(); addChild(WinA); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "x", Elastic.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "y", Strong.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true);
This is the code in my custom window (which I cannot manage to close and have it remove itself from the main movie when clicked):
exitinteraction_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeI);
function closeI(e:Event):void{ this.unloadAndStop();
}
I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1006: unloadAndStop is not a function. at windowa/heyb()
