I am using AS2. The character, a robot, has machine guns that fire off bullets. I am trying to get the bullets to disappear when they hit an enemy. They do dmage, but for some reason they are still there. Here is the code I use to attach and delete them.
Actionscript Code:
if (bulletReady == true && dead == false && Key.isDown(1) == true) { for(x = 0; x<machGuns.length;x++){ bulletReady = false;

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:
1.when the swf movie loads with an attachMovie method the remove_btn clears the window_mc
[Code]....
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.
in my main stage i have movieclip for one frame. In this movieclip there is tween motion event(15 frame) which is done by timeline not by code.16 th frame has the same look with look in the motion event's last frame(15). and between 17-32th frames have motion event too. Now in main stage there are buttons which are visible in movieclip and i just want to make this; lets assume i have the buttons of "home" and "about".When "about" is clicked in mainstage timeline goes to the movieclip i have been talking about.Ä°n this movieclip first frames motion events 15 frame that i told(lets assume alpha %0 at frame 1 in mc, then %100 in frame 15.)when "home" is clicked i want firstly to be played last remaining frames of movieclip then it goes to mainstage and starts from the beginning.
View 4 RepliesIs 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:
this.onMouseDown = function(){var drawdot:MovieClip;
drawdot = this.attachMovie("dot", "dot_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});
[code].....
is there anyway to put all movies that are attached with attachMovie in an array?
ex.
attachMovie ('ball','ball1',this.getNextHighestDepth())
then it will allso run a code that push the array with 'ball1' ? ?
I've got this new problem where I'm trying to remove a container movieclip i've attached the first time the function is run, but I try to remove it and replace it again, but the second time around it gets a negative depth and all goes to hell.

function populateBasket(){
trace("B4 REMOVE:" + basketRows.loader.container.getDepth());
basketRows.loader.container.removeMovieClip();

I can't seem to make this clip disappear. I've tried calling it from it's parent object and also tried putting this.removeMovieClip(); inside the clip itself, but it just won't go. I don't have the same problem with other clips in the movie. This is the only one that has a dynamic text field, but I don't see why that would make a dif.

I 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.

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'm trying to use attachMovie to attach a movieclip to another movieclip. Both the movieclips are set up as buttons (ie. they have _up, _over, _down, _hit states). The problem is if I define event handlers for both mcs, only the event handler on the parent clip works.
myBtn is already on the stage:
myBtn.onRollOver = function():Void { this.attachMovie("pageButton","chldBtn",1); this.onPress = function():Void { trace("parent"); //works }; this.chldBtn.onRelease = function():Void { trace("attached Movie"); // doesn't work };};
I've tried 'delete this.onPress' for the parent mc but this makes no difference.
How can I get the attached mc event handler to work?
I'm using attachMovie to attach a mc from the library to an empty mc on the stage, the movie i'm attaching has 2 dynamic text fields in it, but when i change the .text property of them, nothing appears, if i put some text in them manually before publishing, this text disappears, and after i have set the .text of each, they both trace the correct values, but nothing is displayed,

function startGame() {

I am trying to reference a movieclip within a movieclip that I am loading using "attachmovie". In the first frame of the root, I am attaching the movie. Then, from the attached movie I am calling a function that is also in the first frame of the root. In the function I am tring to set the property of a clip within the attached movie to visible using the following code:
_root.logIn.loginMessage._visible = true;
I have also tried _root["logIn"].loginMessage._visible = true; with no luck.
(logIn is the name of the clip I am attaching using attachMovie and loginMessage is the clip I am trying to reference in the attached movie)
This is how I'm loading it and I know that part is working: _root.attachMovie("login_mc","logIn",getNextHighes tDepth());
Hello Flash World, Ok, I may have posted this question before but I am still confused. I have a Master Movie Clip that has a Mask over it.

View 1 RepliesIn the current project for my schools interactive yearbook(new development). Im trying to create a grid table within a createEmptyMovieClip, by attaching a movie clip from the library, and populating it with an external xml, that i populate a few arrays too.
As of now im just trying to get the basic portion of it down. I see it as if i can create a "page" without having to dublicate the page, then i can easly do it with the multipul pages.
In a nut shell, when i publish my fla, i only get 2 images, when i should have 23, which is the number of childNodes that are in the external XML file...
Im going to attach my souce, and i'll point out the portion that im having issues with:
stop();

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

What I want is the following. Based on an XML file and one empty movie clip, I create about 80 different items (menu items). By drag and dropping these menu items you can create a scene with objects. These objects are copies of the menu items.But I want to use the attachMovie command to have control over the path of the objects. But by creating the menu items dynamically, I cannot say in the library, export for actionscript.So my question is, how can I use the attachMovie command on items that are dynamically created.
