I am using attachMovie and attaching a couple clips to the main timeline, but on level 9. Is there a command to remove all of the clips at once with a command that clears the entire level or do I have to remove each graphic manually?
View 6 Replieshow to put Movie Clips on my stage using the attachMovie command, but they always appear in the upper left corner of the screen. How can I get them to appear in a predetermined area of the stage, without having to edit the Movie Clip itself?

FLA and XML attached.
This is my first time posting. I am trying to learn actionscript and normally like to discover my own solutions but after working on this for days with no solution I am ready to pull my hair out.
Here's the deal. My FLA loads and XML file and from the XML data dynamically creates two categories of buttons, Modules and Steps.
Each module may have a different number of steps. When a module button is clicked it should display the correct number of steps buttons. That works fine except when a module has less steps that the previously displayed module. When that is the case it will always display the greater number of steps. In other words it is Attaching movies correctly with no problem but I can't figure out how to create a looping structure to remove them. I've tried every goofy thing I can think of. It must be something using removeMovieClip but I'm at a loss.
Here is my current code:

I'm wondering, when I remove the movie clips should I also be popping them from the array?
I have an onEnterFrame function that attaches the movie clips and pushes them into the array, so I'm worried that if I don't pop them the array will continue to increase in size and slow down the movie. Is this the case, or will they be automatically removed from the array by the removeMovieClip() method above?
Does anyone know how to set up like a movie clip listener or some sort. I have several buttons on the screen and if I click a button I want whatever movie clip is on the page to be removed and load the new one according to which button is pressed. Right now in order to remove a movie clip you have to click the same button twice to remove it but I want to be able to click any button and remove the move clip and load the correct one. I'm @ a lost to setting this up.
View 0 RepliesIf I add 10 clips like this[code]...
this just results in an error, what are the instance names of my 10 objects then?
I've attached a small example of what I'm doing. The finished project will have a main menu with buttons to 6 pages with 6 maps on each, and 4 other pages.
1.) I've attached movie clips (map graphics) on frame 5 accessable with buttons on frame 1. But when you go to the maps (frame 5) and roll-over them, and use the BACK button to return to the main menu (frame 1) the maps are still there.
2.) In looking for a solution to this I've read that even if I make the maps not visible they are still there, and will add to the size of the file if they are loaded over and over again. I'm thinking I may have done this all wrong and when the project is complete it's going to be a big mess. How can I simplify it?
I have a btn on the main stage and when moused over, it will play an mc (window_mc) which opens up a toggle window. The window_mc includes 3 layers; 1 the animation of the toggle window, 2 the AS of the window and 3 the content inside the toggle window.
The content (layer 3) is another mc (countdown_mc). Within that mc I have an animation and the next frame holds an flv, which plays after the animation.
My question is in relation to the main btn on the main stage that pulls the toggle window open (window_mc) when moused over. I have it set to where it only opens and closes when the mouse is rolled onto the button or off it. The window will open and close accordingly.
When the content in the window gets to the flv within the countdown_mc, I do not want the rollover action to work anymore. (I have an exit btn on the window that will close everything out if clicked).
I know I probably need a removeEventListener action, but I am not sure how to write it if the addEventListener is linked to my btn on the mainstage and I want it removed within the countdown_mc which is inside the window_mc.[code]...

I am currently doing a project for an A level computing assignment, and as i havent used flash much before, im not brilliant.
I have assigned the movie clip 'Star' to the stage multiple times, using the same depth each time. Everything works peachy until I click 'Reset' where the stars all stay on the screen.
I am in search to find a way to remove movie clips on the press of a button. I currently have 3 buttons that loads three difference movie clips however If one button is pressed I want to remove the previous movie clip that is loaded. Right now I have to press the same button twice in order to remove the movie clips. Is there a way to set up a movie clip listener on the buttons?
View 5 RepliesI'm currently working on a script which depending on various factors will add different movie clips to the stage. When the factors change so do the movie clips. I know that I can use removeChild(myMC); 100 times and wipe the stage, so I was thinking it would be possible to add all the movie clips to an array and use removeChild(myArray); to get rid of them but I'm coming up with the compiler error: Code: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject. so obviously I'm missing something. Is this even possible? is there a more effective way to remove Movie Clips from the stage?

View 1 RepliesI'm new to Adobe Flash and especially new to Actionscript. Could somebody give an example and explain how to make and "Ignore *this* command if..." style command. Here's what I want to achieve:I have made a button (I may have done it in an odd way but it works) that moves when the mouse hovers over it and then moves back when the mouse moves away. I plan to put the finished product into Dreamweaver and have tried what I've done so far and it works. The problem is that if I move the mouse away before the first animation of the button has finished. It doesn't reach the *Mouse Out* command and then just sticks/stops in the bit where I have put a *stop* command.Basically, what I want is a way to ignore a command if something happens earlier on (such as the cursor being moved away).I've tried to explain the best I can without actually screenshotting it and copying commands.

I am setting up a flash game with seven toggle on/off buttons that all do the same thing.I know how to assign them all to be able to do the same function in the main timeline. What I can't figure out is how to get them all to also do the same function within each of their respective movie clips.

I've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).

okay, i'm trying to create a full website myself, and inside my main scene movie, i have a movie clip for the content.. inside THAT clip on a frame for the links, i have another movie clip that has all the link buttons embedded... i've got those buttons set up so they stagger fade in as an effect... my problem is, they just keep repeating, and i want the fade in effect to stop after the first time. i've got a stop keyframe after the tween of every button motion, but i dont know the correct code for the movie/button clip itself to play once and then stop.. this is what i have right now, as an action on the movie clip with the buttons inside it:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
play();
}
