In the code I am working on I am attaching MCs to other MCs. However, when I remove the second MC the first one gets removed too. HexStore contains a load of game hex MCs. LastLocation is the last hex MC clicked. myBrigade is the extra MC that needs to be removed from the LastLocation MC.[code]...

I have a movie called "my.fla" in which I attach some MC's.I also have buttons that load swf's in a "container".But when I test the buttons,the attached MC's in "my.fla" keep appearing before the swf loads.I tried EVERYTHING with removeMovieClip,but I can't get it to work(The swf's I load also have attachMovie in them)
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.attach = function(base) {
base["content"+nr].attachMovie("shirt_"+nr, "clip"+nr, nr);

I have a mc in the library, linkage is "del". Here is the code I use to attach to the movie
Code:
delbt.onPress = function () {
if (typeof(_root.del) == undefined) {
_root.attachMovie ("dele", "del", _root.getNextHighestDepth ());
_root['del']._x = 100;
_root['del']._y = 100;
[Code] .....
This works fine to a point. In the "del" mc I have a button to remove "del" mc if no longer required.
Code:
on (release) {
unloadMovie(_root.del)
}
I discovered that this only remove the content and not the mc that holds it "del". So I tried
Code:
on (release) {
_root.del.removeMovieClip ();
}
But this does nothing.
Is it possible to remove an MC from an MC if its not even attached to the stage?

View 11 RepliesI need to remove some movieclips that are attached dynamically so they do not show up underneath the new movieclips that will be attached when a user clicks the next button. I've tried removeMovieClip with little success. I am able to remove one or two of them, but not all. I need all of the previously attached movies gone.
Here is the as2 for it.

//Set functions
function show_movie() {

Is it possible in AS2 to remove an attached movieclip instance in reverse order? I want to give the user the ability to click an erase button and remove the most recent instance of an attached movie. I have tried .swapDepths and getting inconsistent results. Here is what I have:

drawdot = this.attachMovie("dot", "dot_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});

How do you remove each attached/duplicated movie clip on the screen?
Is there an easy script for this?
Lately I've found myself constantly writing removeEventListeners everywhere, which makes code quite messy. I know it's a best practice and such, but in general it has no sense. Garbage collector should handle such a simple task by itself, shouldn't it? Is it that hard to remove all listeners automatically when object is set to null?
So I just want to be sure if that's the case. Does setting an object to null, automatically remove all attached event listeners? In my case scenario is like this - I create an object and attach bunch of event listeners to it, then after a while I need to re-initialize this object. Of course setting this object to null is much easier then unbinding every listener by hand. And on most part listeners are anonymous functions, which means that it's not possible without code refactoring. When I simply re-initialize a variable with new I do not get duplicate listeners and such, but I'm not sure that it's previous value, along with all the listeners gets garbage-collected. Is it?
I want to apply actions to a movieClip nested inside a dynamicly attached movieClip, with the attachMovie method; it doesn't works when the movieClip is attached by a button:

Just wondered if I remove a parent movieclip and then set it to null, will it remove all the child movieclips within it from the Display list and also from memory, or do I need to iterate through the parent movieclip removing all its children before removing the parent?

How to find out whether camera is attached or not in AS3.0. It can be installed or not.
I'm trying to set up a proof-of-concept of loading one SWF into another SWF for skinning. The set-up is this: app.fla, which has an attached ActionScript class, AppMain.as skin.fla, which contains UI components AppMain.as will obviously contain all of the application's logic; I then want to be able to affect the UI components contained within the loaded skin file based on instance names defined in that particular skin.
So for example, if I have a TextField with an instance name of myTextField I'd like to be able to set the text property of that text field programmatically in AppMain.as. The exported app.swf to load a skin file based on a flashvar parameter would be loaded into an HTML document that looked like this:

I just moved to AS3 and I learnt how to attach a movieclip.
ActionScript Code:
var attachedMC = new (getDefinitionByName(PageName) as Class)();
holder.addChild(attachedMC);
Where PageName is the string containing the Class of the movieclip in the library and holder is the instance name of the MC to be attached to.
But what instance name do I use to refer to the movieclip that got attached?
In AS2, the code would have gone like this
ActionScript Code:
holder.attachMovie(PageName, "instanceName", 1);
The instance name part of the code seems to be missing in AS3. SO how do I refer the the attached MC or "child"?
I'm in a hurry to finish off this movie and I'm having trouble loading the attached swf into another swf! It loads but then I can't move the man! This is the script in the swf
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("isoRooms.swf", "container");
container._x = 150;
container._y = 20;
