ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX04] Remove Subclips Of Clip
Mar 11, 2004
I have a movieClip on stage _root.myClip. I have attached several clips to this clip. Now after some random amount of time I need to remove all these clips. One catch though I can't remove the original clip and I dunno if its a good practice to store movieClip references in arrays for later retrieval cause there are gonna be around 1000+ subclips at any given point of time. (This is the logic so I cant change that)
I have also tried for-in loop but it doesnt work for me. I doesn't remove all the clips and also removes functions if there are any. I tried to check for funtions with typeof but it returns "string" not "function".
What are the memory specifications for Flash MX 2004 Pro? I mean how much memory does flash take for references like C takes 4 bytes for a pointer

I couldn't find anything with Google on how to do this, so I'm posting it.I have a code on the first frame of a movie clip that goes to and stops at a different frame in the movie clip depending on a variable that was set outside of the movie clip. It doesn't work, and the movie clip just plays through like normal

I am starting off by creating a very very basic flash document, with about 10 frames in it, just to get myself used to controls etc. i have got my buttons working to go from one frame to the next, and i am now wondering how to make a button load a movie clip, the movie clip is actually just a circle i drew and converted, but i would like this to be invisible, and then to load, or "play" when a button called "1" is clicked

I have a static text movie clip (text has been completely broken down). What I want is to fade in then fade back out. I have the first part working, it's getting to fade back out. Here's what I have so far:
Welcome._alpha=0;
Welcome.onEnterFrame=function() {
this._alpha+=5;
}
This section works great. I just can't seem to grasp how to make it fade back out.

Is it possible to get a reference to all the movieclips I might have added to a movieclip in the designer. Lets say I want to do this in the onLoad function of the movieclip. I couldn't find a way to do it.

Recently I've been developing in a certain way that i'm not sure is wise, so I thought I would ask the guru's here for guidance. Let's say I'm developing a game with an "Enemy" class. Recently I've been making references to all the subclips in the Enemy animation and holding them in my class as variables, so for an Enemy called "Troll" i might have variables in the class saved as:
private var _walkAnimation:MovieClip;
private var _runAnimation:MovieClip;
private var _attackAnimation:MovieClip;
and then reference these whenever I need to flip between the animation states for that Enemy instead of using getChildAt() or getChildByName() to find the relevant subclip every time I wanted to reference it. I was once told saving CPU was more important than conserving memory in cases such as this, but I wanted to make sure this was true. Your thoughts?
(I call a dispose() or destroy() function when I remove enemies so the references can be Garbage Collected)

I use Flash MX and I'm beginner. I have movieclip "dot" at Frame 85. I have in Actions of Frame 85 the following:
i = 1
ii = 100
while(i < ii){
[Code]....
I need to stop (remove) all movie clip instances (created with duplicateMovieClip) at frame 120. I suppose that I should use removeMovieClip();, but I have no idea where and how to use it.

It's very often in game we need a clip auto-remove when an animation finished. In AS2 I attached a clip on the scene, then on a keyframe of this clip (which is in the library) I wrote this.removeMovieClip(). That's all and all worked good. Now in AS3 I make like that :
ActionScript Code:
var mc1:mc=new mc();
addChild(mc1);
and in one keyframe of the clip I write :
ActionScript Code:
removeChild(this); //I also tried : removeChild(MovieClip(parent).mc1);
I see my clip on the scene but I get an error when it's time to remove it. What change to make it works?

I can't seem to remove the movie clip referenced by "ghost". I've verified that I'm targeting things correctly because i can change the alpha of ghost with the "onMouseUp" event, but I can't remove it?!
Code:
_root.compareTable.bizDragger0.onPress = function() {
ghost = _root.attachMovie("bizTypeDragger", "bizDraggerGhost", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

I have a very simple movie clip in my library with a linkage id of view. with a bmp in it 2000x760.I have a text field to which i'm outputting System.totalMemory via EnterFrame event.and two buttons one to attach the view and the other to remove it. Everything works fine and I am doing everything i know how to clean up after myself as far as the linked view goes when removing it which isn't much just removeChild and setting the ref to it to null.Now the issue is that when i run the swf either in ide or stand alone i get a memory jump when the clip is attached which is fine and great but when i remove the clip memory never gets freed >< I know this has to do with a greater CS issue with gc and all that, but How can i get memory free up with i remove the clip?Lastly I am runing System.gc() when i remove the clip (this can't be the answer? / its not doing anything)

The problem which I am facing is that I have a video clip which has a black background. Now the website which I am working on has images in it. When i load this video clip externally by the action loadMovie("fire.swf", 2); the black background of the video clip also starts showing. I want this video clip to be transparent "without the black background".I have googled it, but all explains the "transparent Flash overlay", which is done with the HTML tags i.e <param NAME="wmode" VALUE="transparent">.

How to remove a movie clip after it is done playing.

I have a main movie, and I have an external movie. I have a button in my main movie and an empty movie clip. When you hit the button, it loads the external movie in the empty mc. That external movie is 90 seconds long, but I want it to unload and go back to the main movie when its finished. I think I need to put something in the actual movie clip so that when it gets to end, it removes the movie clip and that disappears.
Whats the best way to achieve this? Should I make it invisible? Or unload movieclip? or is there a remove movieclip?
