ActionScript 3.0 :: Add / Remove Child Versus Visible?
Feb 8, 2010
I'm converting to AS3 from AS2 and I really love the whole display list concept. I have some movie clips and components that appear and disappear based on some user button clicks. In AS2 I would just turn the visibility of my various display objects on and off, but I'm wondering if there are any memory/performance advantages to adding and removing the display object from the display list to accomplish the same thing.

Is there a performance and/or memory usage difference between these two scenarios?
Scenario 1: N visual elements all added to stage;
N-1 have visible = false, 1 has visible = true;
Scenario 2: N visual elements, only 1 added to the stage at any time.

i'm new to AS3 and i was wondering what is the best way to remove a child at a point. i tried Holder.removeChild(Holder.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(exampleX, exampleY))[0]); however that returned ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

I have a child (an external swf) that I'm adding on frame 2 of my main timeline. It will load, but I have another issue. My timeline navigation is designed as such that the viewer can return to frame 1 after viewing frame 2. I don't want the child to be visible on frame 1 ever. Obviously, I can't simply use removeChild, because I haven't yet added it when frame 1 is reached and so I get a null object reference. I've also tried playing around with the visibility property of the child, but with no luck. I feel like I'm missing an obvious solution here. What should I do?

If there an object is placed on the stage named square and with the document class Main an object was added to square with addchild,if I wanted the square to not be visible but still be the parent while the new object added to square was made visible, how would you accomplish that?
My Trials: It seems if you set the parent to false visibility and then try to set the child visibility to true it disregards that request because the parent visibility overrides it, so the entire movieclip object remains completely invisible.It seems you can make a child become invisible while the parent is visible, but I want to do the opposite.

Is there anyway a Dispaly Object can make its parent invisble = visible=false,
But the child remains visible?
Just trying to save on re-writing a batch of code so its the normal parent child relationship.

Let's say I have a canvas with a fixed height and a vertical scroll bar. And the canvas has 10 children in a vertical line (like a VBox) whose combined height exceeds the height of the canvas. Based on the scroll bar position, only some of the children will be visible at a time.Is it possible to determine which children are actually visible? Or whether or not a specific child is visible on screen?

I have a code similar to this:
<s:VGroup>
<s:HGroup verticalAlign="middle">
<s:Label text="label" />
<s:TextInput id="rmName"/>
[Code].....
I want that the s:VGroup container has the height only of its visible children. In this example there is a free space even the visibility mx:HorizontalList is set to false. Every time I change the visibility of the child element I want that the parent (s:VGroup) will change his height. How to do this in flex?

flash and am trying to create a vending machine game but I seem to have come unstuck. The coin_slot that I have added doesn't seem to remove from the stage after frame3. I have included colour to the the event triggers to allow me to see what is happening at the moment the coin_slot image that I add does seem to remove from the stae but there still seems to be something hidden within the stage. This is still in really rough stage of development I just need to figure out the code at the moment.

I have this function[code]...
none of it worked, It's just a minor cleanup really. Whenever you click a new picture you can see all the ones underneath it during the load so I just want to clear out those items or rather clear the loader before it loads something new.

I have a missile which gets fired once the mouse button is down. The main class snippet is:
ActionScript Code:
public function moveTheBullet(event:Event):void
{
if(buttonDown)
[code]....
The bullet is now flying across the screen thanks to the Rock class which control its velocity and direction. When the missile is off the screen, however, I'd like to remove it, so it doesnt eat up memory. This is how I'm trying to accomplish that (the code's in the Rock class):
ActionScript Code:
public function moveIt(event:Event):void
{
if(this.x > 200)
[code]....
But yeah, its not working at all. I'm getting the error: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. how to remove the bullets.

I am making a game (surprise, surprise). In the game there are things to collect, possibly lives. I can add them to the screen but removing them is an issue. The best way I have worked out is to create a sprite called livesContainer, add all the lives to that, then, if the user returns to the main menu, I can remove all of the lives by removing that one container. Here's how I create all of the lives and add them to the stage. This all works and you don't really need to read all of it.[code]...

function attachMovieClips(){for (var i=0; i<list_array.length; i++){var mySelectFile:selectFile = new selectFile();mySelectFile.name = "mySelectFile"+i;mySelectFile.y = (mySelectFile.height + 10)*i;addChild(mySelectFile);}}
attachMovieClips();
i need a function to remove all the attached movie clips...I assume i need to use removeChild however everything i've tried hasn't worked...

Does anyone know the actionscript 3.0 parameters in removing the child within a movieclip? This is my scenario:
1. I have two (2) languages which play on the main timeline. Each languages are movieclips.
2. I have a movieclip which has buttons. These buttons are added dynamically using "stage.addChild(main_menu)"
3. I have a go back button together with the main timeline. How can remove a child on a timeline? For example when I choose the language A: it will play through by a movieclip and the buttons will be added dynamically [the dynamically added buttons are inside this movieclip; also the AS3 is inside that movieclip]. I wanted to remove the added child when the go back button is pressed and return to certain frame on the main timeline. The go back button is not included in the said movieclip--it is within the same timeline of languages and I wanted the script to be on the main timeline.
