ActionScript 2.0 :: Recovering MovieClip Removed By Using UnloadMovie?
Apr 13, 2007
I am trying to incorporate the facility to recover an object that has been deleted by the user. When he presses delete, i unload the movieclip. So if I want to recover it, complete with its last width, height, x and y positions, how do I do it? Is there some inbuilt function? or do I have to use some programming to do it, like save the object properties before deleting and all? The object could be any one of about 5-6 of them in my library, so knowing at run time which one to attach is impossible. So I need something to recover exactly the movie clip that was unloaded. I don't think attaching a new one and setting its properties will work. Very simply, I could just set the _visible to false when he presses delete, but then, thats not a very good practice I feel.

Occasionally on a slow network my code gets this error when trying to stream a video to an FLVPlayback component.After that I try to reload the source, but it never works.According to the documentation, this error causes the FLVPlayback to enter a non-responsive state with the following consequences: "If the state is unresponsive, calls to the play(), load(),stop(), pause() and seek() methods are queued and executed later, when the state changes to a responsive one."So the question is, how to change the state to a responsive one?Since load won't work, neither will setting the source. After much search, I found a claim that closing the active video player and setting another should work, but it doesn't (code shown below) My next step is to discard the current FLVPlayback and make a new instance, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
// f is a FLVPlayback
if(retriesLeft > 0) {
var s = f.source;

I'm trying to make it so you're shooting bullets, but with each bullet it lags worse. The duplicate movieclip it being removed, AND replaced. I don't know why it's lagging. All the bullet is is a line.It used to be only shooting one bullet at a time, and it didn't lag then Should I go back to the old way I had it?Does it always lag after a lot of duplicates?Does it not delete the actions that are in the duplicate movieclip?

I have a movieclip that contains two frames, each frame contains a different set of buttons.
it seems that i cannot add the event listeners to buttons that are not in my current viewed frame.
so.. problem one: is there a way to add event listeners to all the elements in the movieclip even if the elements are in a different frame.
problem two: after I added an event listener to some elements in current frame and then I move forward to the next frame and go back to the same frame, all the event listeners are removed and i need to initialize them again. is there a way to resolve the issue without the need to re-initialize the event listeners ?

I am having a similar issue to this post except that I am using only AS2 at the moment.[URL]..I call a swf file to load into a loader like this music_mc.loadMovie("music/song.swf").
When I unload the movie clip like this: music_mc.unloadMovie() and try and load it again, it does not want to load again.

I have a set of buttons on a map that when clicked load in a zoomed version jpg file into an empty movie clip. When the loaded jpg / mc is clicked, I want the loaded movie to fade out as it unloads. The fade in is working fine, but I've tried several examples I've found online for the fade out and none of worked yet.

I'm a student web designer from Toronto, ON working on a flash interface for an art show.In our flash file (AS 2.0), I need a piece of code to constantly check a set of variables. If the variable reaches 2, I want it to unload the current movie, therefore I also have a set of buttons which each increase the current variable by +1 every time they are clicked. Therefore once 2 buttons were clicked, the movie would be unloaded.[code]

I am building a website that has a separate .swf for each page of the site. Each page is loaded into shell_mc using loadMovie. When a new page loads, I run shell_mc.unloadMovie before calling shell_mc.loadMovie(newPage). I am just wondering if the unloadMovie command will destroy everything in the current page that might take up memory before it begins loading a new page.

I have created an interface that uses a lot of the loadMovie command using levels. Once I have loaded a movie on say level 3...in that level 3 movieclip I will have another navigation that will load and then use the loadMovie command to load movie on level 3 as well. It loads it correctly but the back button that would contain the unloadMovie(3) command isn't unloading, say if the user wants to go back.

I have an AS2 .swf being loaded as a child of a parent AS3 .swf. The AS2.swf calls loadmovie() and unloadmovie() to display 3 jpeg files. The images load the first time, but after that, a call to loadmovie() to replace the image, or a call to unloadmovie() fail. I found the following Adobe Bug report ([URL]) that has said this has been resolved, and also said that child movieclips could be replaced without a problem. Here is the code I'm calling.

What (if any) is the actual differance between removeMovieClip() and unloadMovie() for use in erasing duplicated movie clips (using duplicateMovieClip() )? I was looking over some of my code and noticed I used both without much rhyme or reason as to why one over the other.

On one frame I add a child:
ActionScript Code:
var insert4:spin2MC = new spin2MC();
insert4.x = 490;
insert4.y = 380;
addChild(insert4);
setChildIndex(insert4, 12);
This MC is communicating with other MC's on this frame. It is for example placing MC hitspider at the same x as itself on EnterFrame.
[Code]....
But it still gives me an error. That it can't find the hitspider MC. Which is true cause it's not there. But since I removed the child why does it still look for this MC hitspider?
