ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Child Removal Method?
Dec 7, 2009
ActionScript Code:
if (pMenu.AccSel.iconSel.child != undefined) {
pMenu.AccSel.iconSel.removeChildAt(0)
}
i was trying to do a child removal method that would work on command instead of me trying to find a child to remove each time in the code... it would find and remove it wisely... however, i've tried this method and it doesn't work... and i was wondering if there was another way for actionscript to check for Children and if there are any it'll remove it...

I'm trying to make a small card simulation that creates a pile of cards, and when I click on the deck it flips the top card over and moves it to another pile. Clicking on the other pile flips it back. I'm using Flash CS3 so can't use Flash 10's 3D abilities. So far, I'v created a Card class (extending sprite) which draws 2 rectangles (for the front and back faces), and contains a public method flipTo(). which when called starts a tween which moves the card and flips it (by adjusting it's scaleX value to negative, and when scaleX = 0 toggling the visibility of the card's faces).
This works fine, and so I have a for loop that creates 10 instances of the Card class on top of each other (and within a sprite container called rightPile), giving me my pile. I've attached an event listener to the pile, so when I click it, it performs the onRightClicked function, which calls the top card's flipTo() method. So when I click on the pile, the top card flips. However, when I click again, the same card flips again, and I can't figure out how to make the next card flip. I've tried keeping track of the index of the current card, and using rightPile.getChildAt(currentCard).flipTo(), but I get the following error...

I'm looking for a way to call a method for ALL children elements of a DataGroup from the DataGroup. The problem is that when using the creationComplete event to call a method of a child that method is only called once for every itemrenderer (child) object. after the item was drawn once. now i want the children component to call a function everytime the datagroup containing it changes its data. Using "updateComplete" or "dataChange" inside the children (itemrenderer) component would work, BUT "updateComplete" and "dataChange" is called everytime i change the view (e.g. scroll my list) - thats not what i want.

i am new to AS 3.0. I am preparing the game, which will initially display login page, after username validation. It enters into the game. I have prepared login page and a game in a separate file. To load all these files, I have main file which loads the login page and game file. When the preloaded completes, ill show the login page. Using application domain Ill access the login button. When I press the login button, ill send the entered user name and password to the server for validation. Based on the response will allow the user to enter. Now my problem is, I want to show game screen based on the username validation response. I am not sure how to do this.

I have 2 separate pages for login and a game. To load all these files, I have main file which loads the login page and game file. When the preloaded completes, the login page opens. Using application domain, I will access the login button.
When the login button is pressed, the user name and password entered will be sent to the server for validation. If authenticated, the user enters the game. Now the problem is, I want to show game screen based on the username validation response. I am not sure how to do this.

I have some code that generates dynamic movie clips,and puts them into an array.That all works fine, but at the end of the scene, I want to be able to stop the movie clips being generated, and clear them from my screen. I can clear one at a time, but I need to stop them being generated.
Code:
enemies = [];
evilBreak = setInterval(evilSpawn, 2000);
function evilSpawn() {
evilguy = attachMovie("evil", "evil"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:random(550)+50});

I'm pulling some events out of a MySQL db, parsing to an XML file, and having flash pull that in. All works fine, but I'm encountering an XML tag, and I'm not 100% sure why. I searched but the keywords are so vague I didn't find anything of value.

So with one event, it works fine. With more than one, I get in the info.eventNameTxt textfield something like <name>Christmas Afterbash</name>. how to circumvent this? I haven't quite been able to wrap my head 100% around the E4X stuff.

I have placed a video object on top of a graphic that is a link to another site. Before the user clicks the button to activate the video, they can see my background graphic and use the link. After they play the video, the background graphic is no longer visible. Is there any way to get rid of the remnants of the video after it is played so picture and link are visible again?Here is my great code:
videowindowbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, videowindowbuttonhandler);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();nc.connect(null);var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);myvideo.attachNetStream(ns);var listener:Object = new

I have 2 .as files so far, one for the main game and one for the boulders that come hurdling down the screen. I can get the boulders added to the game fine and the animation is fine too but I don't know how to remove the boulder once it goes offscreen (it just keeps floating downwards) so obviously this is not good since after a few levels, there will be 100's of boulders there wasting CPU cycles and memory space I've tried removeChild and parent.removeChild but neither work
Here is my Boulder.as file:

The structure I have is one where I have a main.swf which loads an external swf named say external1.swf. Then external1.swf loads external2.swf. My question is when I remove external1.swf, is external2.swf also removed by proxy from the display list or do I have to explicity remove external2.swf using removeChild on the relevant loader?

I have an MC of a sea texture which was created using clouds in Photoshop, and uses AS to fade in & out a child MC to look like waves moving back & forth. (The PS image fades to transparent where its close to each side to aid blending).
The user is able to pan the containing MC infinitely so I need some way of automatically overlapping a new instance when the pan gets close to the edges of the MC, but because its a large MC needs to also remove the MCs greater than distance x from the edges.

Below is the function I use to remove the swf which holds an FLVPlayback component and the button that runs the function. The function stops the video then removes the swf. The swf disappears and the sound stops but if I look at the task manager I notice the video is still loading usually at about 1 meg every 5 seconds. I know I'm supposed to be able to use the closeVideoPlayer method which should stop the netstream but I don't how to make it work
function goHome(e:MouseEvent):void myMovie.stop(); this.parent.parent.removeChild(this.parent);// myMovie.closeVideoPlayer(0); meCombo.removeEventListener(Event.CHANGE,

I am relatively new to flash and action script as well and I am having a problem getting the sprite to be removed after another is called.I am making emission spectrum's of 3 elements by dynamically generating the mask over a picture on the stage. Everything works perfectly fine with the code I have right now except the sprites stack on top of each other and I end up with bold lines all over my picture instead of a new set of lines each time i press a button.I have tried using try/catch to remove the sprites and I have also rearranged the entire code from what is seen here to make 3 seperate entities (hoping I could remove them if they were seperate variables) instead of 2 functions that handle the whole process.

I'm going to start by saying that i am very new to flash and the concept of Stage is still very new to me.
I have the following problem: at a given time i have:
var foo:MyClass() = new Class();
stage.addChild(foo);
...
foo = new myClass();
stage.addChild(object);
so now i have two or more foo objects on stage. my variable is for one foo, and i need to remove them all from the stage.

I have a registration module done in flash where i create a movie clip like this:var container:MovieClip = _level0.printCardpls.createEmptyMovieClip("contain er", this.getNextHighestDepth());and on completion i go to frame one. Where I would like to check to see if it exists and then delete it if it sill does. Then when the user hits frame 15 for example where it gets created again, its fine.

My issue today is a DisplayObject error I'm getting when remove a child object. I have code that will launch(addChild) a video container and video controls as well as add a close button. Now the close button works fine and everything, removing the video and controls and I'm able to choose another video again, but when you click close a 2nd time I get this error: ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild() So I've narrowed down the problem to where I remove the videoContainer (which holds the video object) My code to play the videos:

I'm having an issue where I am placing a timer inside of a MovieClip instance which is dynamically placed on stage. When I remove the MovieClip from the stage, the timer keeps on running. It is sometimes a bit complicated to be able to stop all the timers inside of this MovieClip so I was wondering if there was a way to either destroy the MovieClip instance and thus destroy the timers within it? or how could I go about making sure the timers stop when their parent Object is not on stage.

I have multiple MXML custom components that I add on the fly (using a repeater) that is binded to an ArrayCollection. So everytime I add/remove item from the ArrayColleciton new items show/disappear from the screen. Is there a straightforward way to make item fade in when they get created and fade out when they are removed? I thought of using states and state transition effects but that will make things a bit complicated at different part of my application for those components to manage the states.

I noticed something dangerous while working with AS3 - some objects (namely DisplayObjects / MovieClips) tend to remain in the memory and even perform actions after all references to them have been removed.
I work with Flash CS 5.5 and Flash Builder 4.6.
After getting rid of all references (including removeChild(...) from the Document Class) some objects just seem to stay alive.
This question might come off as a bit broad - but what I am trying to understand is what can I do to MAKE SURE that an object is picked up by the Garbage Collector? More so, how can I get some sort of feedback from the GC that signifies that a certain object has been destroyed? (For example, a console message)
