How can I remove a playfield that I have created with attachmovie? The game that I make is minesweeper, so when I click on a bomb the playfield must dissapear! I thought is was like the code below but it doesn't work!
Code:
for (i=0; i<wortel; i++) {
this["square_mc"+i].removeMovieClip();
}
my little application contain a combobox and a MC "filmstrip" in my _root. the combobox work with an xml file containing links to other xml files. Inside my MC "filmstrip" i have a script loading with a for loop the xml file selected in the combobox on the _root . In this loop i createEmptyMovieClip an attachMovies with the data of the xml selected. evrything works exept that evrytime i change my selection in the combobox it load the data on top of the previous load. I would like to delete the previous load before load the new one.. On my scene 1st frame i have only a code for scroll the movieclip filmstrip but i think is not nescessary that i show it. here is the code inside the MC fimlstrip (sorry but i put all the code). i attach an example aswell
var link1:Array = new Array();
var url:String;
var theUrl:String;
var whoOn:Number;

I have a situation where I create many instances of an MC, one for each node in an XML file (using a for loop), using attachMovie.
Code:
var photo_mc = _root.center_mc.photosLevel1_mc.attachMovie("photoFrame_mc", photoName, itemCount);

I am creating movie clips with a for loop using attachMovie, I would like to pass a variable into the clip itself at the time of it's creation. It seems simple enough, but my little brain is imploding...
So basically I got an MC: "clip"+i, which I would like to pass a variable (from an array), for it to use on it's own timeline. I want the next clip to be able to use the next variable in the array in it's own timeline.
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.
View 6 RepliesI am adding a bunch of MC's(linkage ID:buttonHolder) dynamically using a for loop and attachMovie. If I want to dynamically add an onRelease function to each of those MCs,so that each of them links to different links how would I accomplish that? here's where i've reached so far..
var depth:Number=0;
var nextY:Number=77;
for (i=0; i<5; i++)

I am creating components with the attachMovie(), it works, but is it the right way to do it? The reason i ask is because i cant remove the components with removeMovieClip(), how do you remove them?
View 2 RepliesI'm getting the hang of Actionscript 3 after a lot of reluctance to move to it, and finding it a fun language to work with. However, I'd like to build a play field that is bigger then the actual screen - a basic "game camera" setup that scrolls a map or scrolls around it.

I have created a moviclip with the following [code]...
Then after pressing a button I want to delete the movieclips. I have tried[code]...

I have a problem, maybe simple, with my full Flash website and a Google Map I inserted on it thanks to the Google Map API.On the frame of the scenario I want that the map appears, I inputed the below code on the AS3 actions panel (F9).

I have a loop which creates several TextFields in different positions[code]..
I have tried removeChild and setting the t.text to nothing, but this only affects the last created textfield
I'm doing a website in flash and I'm creating sprtite to put image in it (child) when we clic on a link. But when we clic on another link, the child have to be removed but it doesn't. It doesn't reach theirselves (the child), so it can't be removed.em?This is my code:
Code:
function sectIllustrations(event:Event) {
contenu_mc.gotoAndStop("illustrations");

The problem is that this code is in a frame and when I leave the frame the MovieClips I have created will still be there. I think this is because I'm creating a global MovieClip right? If so then is there a way to declare the MovieClips as local? [code]...

View 9 Replieshow do I completely remove a movieclip that is created as a new class.I have an event listener that does a removeChild like this
e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
is this enough or do I have to 'null' the object? I can't just do 'e.target = null' because the property is read only. Will the internal garbage collection do the rest for me if I have no references somewhere else?
Is there a way to remove all the text fields which was created? I used instance.removeTextField() but still I see some text boxes. In my fla when I go back and forth between frames I still see there are text boxes by the text cursor appearance. I'm having trouble because the buttons can not be clicked when the text fields are there. I'm using several of these in different frames.

Im currently creating textfields in a for loop - though in this example only creating one TextField. My questions is, how do I remove the TextField child in another function? What im basically doing is, create a Textfield, addchild to a container - > then the container into another position - > then removechild and another text in the container. I've tried something like:

I want to remove an object that is created in a loop, with a timer.
var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, voegtoe);
In function voegtoe I'm adding an Movieclip Object called man:
man.x=Math.random()*650;
man.y=Math.floor(Math.random()*(70))+350;
addChild(man);
I want to remove this object after 2 seconds. The problem is that there are multiple 'man' objects.
I'm making a game in flash and am using arrays to dynamically create items and place them inventory. LongSword is a MovieClip. I place the movieclip in the array like so:

I have only one question but phrased it 3 ways:
1) Is it better to pre=render things say in photoshop or have flash render them?
2) if I have a field of stars that drift along; is it better to create that Star Field in photoshop as a single picture (say a .png) or to create a star in my library and add it to a movie clip and then have that drift along?
Lets say I have a blur effect on my stars and have an equivalent on the photoshop.
3) I have heard (and experienced) adding effects like blur takes a fair amount of CPU and memory so was wondering if I created the effect in photoshop and then imported the 'blurred' object into my flash if I could cut down on system resources?
When an instance variable is constructed by a constructor method, why do you need to refer to the current instance variable being created when its the only one being created? I understand assigning an expression to it but why name it "this." when it is the only object that the constructor is building? Does it have some hing to do with being able to naming that object in the Local Variable? In other words am I creating a generic object that will be named in another class?
