ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating And Deleting Movies - Increasing The Variable This.speed Inside Interval Statements
Jun 14, 2006I am trying to make a simple game where there are five balls that bounce around the screen and speed up at set intervals. You have to dodge them for as long as possible. Right now I have the game set up so that you dodge for 15 seconds and you win - but I can't delete the balls that are bouncing around, and I don't know how to put in a reset button. I have also tried increasing the variable this.speed inside my interval statements but it doesn't work.

Deleting Images From Library
Jul 24, 2009i have an image and it is a large sheet with series of poses for a character (like a sprite sheet), and wanted to take them out to be animated and make them into individual movie clips.I did successfully, but I went to delete the original image, however, the movie clips became red fills.Is there a way I can get rid of the original without affecting the movie clip?-If not-I wanted to do this because I thought it may save memory but i am not really sure if it will affect the memory since the sheet itself is not going on the stage, is there a chance that this full sprite sheet in the library won't effect the file size of .swf?And if it does, if I turn it into a graphic, or movie clip, will that compress it?I use Flash CS3!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Deleting The Multiple Mc's?
Mar 12, 2012I can of course use removeMovieClip but I heard there was a more simple solution - attaching all of the MC's to another MC, and then deleting this MC would also delete all attached MC's. I saw some examples (starting with createEmptyMovieClip but I guess I'm having some problems with syntax.
ActionScript Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("movie1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
movie1.attachMovie("whatever", "movie2", this.getNextHighestDepth();
movie1.attachMovie("whatever", "movie3", this.getNextHighestDepth();
...
This code does not work...What I'd like is to remove movie1 so that it would delete all the others. Can it work?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Deleting From An Array?
Feb 23, 2003Is there a way to delete a specific value in an array? For example, the array:"Banana Peel,Hippopotamus Leg,Computer Wire,Keyboard"Would there be any way to delete just "Computer Wire" from the array? I found the Array.splice thingy, but it seems that you need to know the index of the thing. Therefore i guess my question is: Is there any way to find the index of a particular value.In the thing I am making, the value could be at any index in the array (it is put in place by the user), so I could not just say Array.splice(2,1,)

Mar 12, 2010Actionscript Code:
var gameObjectArray:Array = new Array();var gameTimer:Timer = new Timer(25);gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, gameLoop);gameTimer.start();
[code].....
So every 25 milliseconds, a block is being created and it pushed into an array. The for loop cycles through the array and moves the x by 1 for each object in the array. If the x reaches past 300 pixels, then I want to delete the object from the game entirely. The way I'm doing it now yields an error, so what am I doing wrong and what should it look like inside of the "if (i.x > 300)" stuff?
Deleting Variables From Debugging Menu

Aug 1, 2010function countdown(){

if(timer==0){[code]....
okay so there is my timer above, the timer counts down and everything else works exept for deleting the function at the end of the level, at the end of the level the script goes to another frame to show you have passed the level and then goes back to the previous frame to play the next level, all the new objects are made but the timer then counts double so its like the timer is running twice at a time so instead of counting down 1 everysecond it counts down 1 every half second, i have tried delete countdown();.i dont know how you actually make this work or how to go about it,
ActionScript 3.0 :: Deleting Clips And Loaders?
Aug 26, 2010I need to load and unload thumb buttons with images loaded in them. I load an xml, create the clips, then load the images into the clips.
When I remove the clips, I need to unload the loaders first?
Can I store references of the loaders in an array and use the array to unload them?
How should I delete the clips? removeChildAt()? Or use an array?
Here's relevant code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Deleting NetStream/NetConnections If Not Used?
Sep 18, 2008Is it possible to write some code that would search to see if a NetConnection and a NetStream object exists in the scene, and if so to delete them (or *.close(); or whatever)? I would like to be able to 'see' (with traces) these 'non-visible' sorts of objects to have a better handle on when/how/where these things are created .The same goes for all of these *.addEventListener's that I keep creating all over the place in AS3.Is there a way to step through all these 'hidden' objects in a scene and get some sort of status on them?
View 7 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Removing SWF From Memory After Deleting From DOM
Sep 29, 2011I'm having a problem where I load my SWF (Advertisement) into the dom after an event happens in a flash game. After viewing the ad, the SWF is removed with JavaScript and users continues to play, this continues several times without ever reloading the page.
The problem I am running into is in IE 8 & 9 performance of the game drops and frame rate becomes choppy after several ads are shown. Each advertisment has a timer built in and my thought is that the ad is not being fully removed from memory hence causing a slowdown.
Is there a way to ensure a full removal of the ad or at least a way to detect within the ad that it is no longer on the page & kill the timer?
Professional :: Bug When Deleting Anchor Points
Oct 10, 2011I think I discovered a bug. Say this is a line with anchor points:
x---x---x---x---x---x---x
And this is what I want to achieve using the Delete Anchor Point Tool:
x-----------x-----------x
Then this is as far as I'm actually able to get:
x-------x---x-----------x
Because for some reason, if I delete the 2nd anchor point, the 3rd will be deleted too. I can, however, delete the 3rd without deleting the 2nd.
It is only after I've moved the 3rd further away that I'm able to delete the 2nd, but this gets tiring after a while.

The swf unloads fine, but it seems to be unloading the container as well. After I unload one video the others will not load.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Ref Counts And Instance Deleting Itself?
Jan 13, 2010I understand the basics of reference counting but I am having trouble getting my head around one possibility. What happens while a class function/method is running - suppose the class instance removes the last reference to itself while executing - how does that get dealt with internally and is it dangerous? Perhaps while a class' function is running a temporary extra reference is held or else the garbage collector is otherwise not allowed to delete it.
e.g.
class Something
{
function DoSomething

ActionScript 3.0 :: Deleting A Movie Clip?
Mar 16, 2011Only been working with flash/as3 for about 2 months now so I'm still a little green but in a nutshell, I make interactive Flash presentations, aimed at educators as a tool to make their teaching seem a bit more interactive with their pupils, and we are in the process of developing a tool that will allow our users to create their own flash presentations similar to the ones that we provide for them.One of the features I have is the ability to delete something off the screen which they may have added accidentally or no longer want on the screen. This is done by simulating something similar to the recycle bin.
They can click and drag items onto the recycle bin and it removes them from the stage, however as you might know, the movie clip for that item is still in memory, so when the presentation is exported (it exports as an xml file) the "deleted" movie clip is still there.When exporting the presentation, the xml elements are generated by looking at the children of the container movie clip for different types of movie clips(static images, images with rollover effect, animations).I know the problem with that, and according to another post I must set the movie clip to null in order to get around this. But here's my problem:I have a click listener on the stage objects - which enables the drag and drop, when dropped, the listener calls a function to check if the movie clip has been dropped in the bin, and passes the mouse event onto the function.
Code:
function checkHitArea(evt:Event)
{

Iterating Through An Array And Selectively Deleting Items
Dec 30, 2010I'm making a very short text adventure, not one that will be all that fun, but just so I can learn a little as3. So I was designing a system that splits the persons input into an array of words, and then goes through and takes out unimportant words like "on." To test this out, I quickly (and messily) coded it up, and the only thing you can do is sit on a box. but it doesn't seem to be working. if you type "sit box" it works, but "sit on box" does not.
