ActionScript 2.0 :: Delete The First 8 Charaters Of A Variable?

Dec 20, 2005

apparently, when a button is controlled by a function like so:

Code:
button.onRelease = function() {
pages = button;
trans.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

that variable "pages" is given a "_level0." before the variable info. How can I eliminate that from happening? Is there a way to delete the first 8 charaters of a variable when assigning it?

the problem with this is if I want to call a loadMovie like so:

Code:
loadMovie(_root.pages+".swf", "_root.target");
pages turns up as "_level0.button.swf"

Flex :: Combobox Backspace Or Delete Key Does Not Delete Highlighted Text

Mar 26, 2010

I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'

1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st'
2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.

So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before

ActionScript 3.0 :: Delete A Variable Containing A Movie Clip Class And Recreate It With A Different Movie Clip Class?

Jul 1, 2009

In my project are pages of text with each word having a button that when pressed will display a movieclip presentation about that word (its pronounciation and spelling etc..). In the project I am working on now I have over 450 unique presentations of words to deal with. I don't want to have all of these hundreds of movie clips on the stage and tell them one at a time to stop and rewind and then have one play each time a word button is pressed. That seems to be very inefficient to me.

add movieclips to the stage using addChild(movieclipname) and remove them using removeChild(movieclipname) but there is a problem. I have hundreds of unique movieclips and I don't want to have to manage hundreds of variables containing the indivudual movieclip instancess. It is a real pain having to figure out what instance is still on the stage before i delete it.In Adobe Director all I have to do is this:

This code just generates a new ham_mc where the user releases the original (drag and drop). The original returns to its starting point. I have the same code for a movieclip called cheese_mc, the user can drag and drop cheese too.

So, if more than one of these ham_mc's and cheese_mc's are created, what is the best way to delete the last one created?

I've just made the jump into AS3 from AS2 and am having trouble deleting a text box if I create it within a function. If I use exactly the same code outside of a function, it works a treat. I'm assuming this is something to do with the text box not having a global or _root property

ActionScript 3.0 :: Delete Movieclips In It?

May 16, 2011

I'm pretty new to actionscript 3.0 and thus I get the feeling I'm making a very juvenile mistake.. either way I have been trying to solve this problem for hours to no avail. I have an assignment in uni to produce a basic flash game that is meant to meet a set criteria involving playing/pausing music, loading external swfs and so on which I have had no problem with.

The one issue I am having however is creating what is essentially a pond game in which a bird is meant to swoop down and pick up a fish. Getting a hit test to detect the collision between the fish and the bird is working fine but I want the fish to delete itself and then generate a new movieclip as the brief specifies. I can get it to generate a new movieclip no problem but for some reason I can't get it to delete the original one. [code]...

can you delete a onEnterFrame that is placed on the MC its self, for example:

Code:

the concept is simple and works when placed on the timeline but does not work when placed directly on the MC.
