ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Remove Leftover Children From Previous Frame
Nov 9, 2009
I have created a flash file to serve as an image gallery with several different chapters. Each individual chapter is represented by a different frame on the timeline. On each chapter/frame, there is a thumbnail gallery at the bottom of the screen. When you click on the thumbnail, I have loaders set up to load and display the full size image. Then I have a loaderX.addEventListener set up so that when you click on the loaded image, it disappears. The problem occurs when you leave a full-size picture open, and then you navigate to another frame. Then when you try and click on it, you can't remove it anymore.
Now, I can't remove the loader(s) when the next chapter button is clicked because unless the user has clicked on the thumbnail, the loader has not been added to the stage, so there won't be anything to remove. I tried adding the following 'if' statement into the function that navigates to the next frame,
'if(stage.NumChildren >0){stage.removeChildAt(0)}
but the problem with that is that then it just removes all the children and either doesn't advance to the next frame or is just removing all children on the next frame as well, so i end up with an empty stage.
I've been dealing with this problem for close to two weeks now, and I can't even find a bulky way around it, never mind finding a tight clean fix.

Just wondered if I remove a parent movieclip and then set it to null, will it remove all the child movieclips within it from the Display list and also from memory, or do I need to iterate through the parent movieclip removing all its children before removing the parent?

Just finally making the transition from AS2 to AS3.All i need to do at this point is make two buttons which will control the movie to goto next frame and previous frame.

I am creating double Quiz games with 3 swf files(main.swf,A.swf,B.swf),when i load from Main.swf into another swf example into(B.swf) and reload back to Main.swf again,it works perfectly without erros... but when this process keep on looping, its seems like spamming CPU memory usage...what coding i should used to solve it?
(**i guess because the previous swf file's memory not totally remove when enter another swf, new swf just replacing on top)(I used .unload(),removeChild (),stop() so on seems doesn't solve this problem..i did try my best to solve but fail)

I'm loading external SWFs into a larger SWF/projector, and I need to load the next and remove the previous one. Because of some unforseen technical requirements, I need to do this in AS3, unfortunately, I'm only used to AS2. I need the simplest possible way. Here's the code I'm using:
On the main movie:
Code:
// LOAD FIRST CLIP
var loadit = new Loader();
loadit.load(new URLRequest("assets/01.swf"));
this.container.addChild(loadit);
Then on 01.swf:
Code:
stop();
// LOAD NEXT
var loadit = new Loader();
addChild(loadit);
loadit.load(new URLRequest("02.swf"));
And then load 03.swf, 04.swf and so on. When loading 02.swf, 01.swf needs to be unloaded. How can I do this?

I am getting problem of memory of having repeating object. Below is my code.
import flash.system.System;
var counter:Number=0;
var systemMemory:TextField=new TextField();
systemMemory.x=200;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,showNext);
function showNext(event:Event){
[Code] .....
Above code does repeat textField Object continuously. Now I want to destroy previous created textField Object. So that my memory will not be hang. I got some where in the blog that with System.gc() could clear garbage collection. But currently I am not working with system.gc any more I want to clear previous object in programatically way. Is there any way that I could destroy previous created object?

this fullscreen slideshow with random pictures which will be the background of a client's web-site. I have everything working, the preloader, the imaging loading and transitions.There's one thing however that's happening and I don't know how to fix it. What's happening - naturally - is that the previous image is still there, in the background, and I would like that to be removed, I would like to have the previous loader, or just the holder movieclip to get off stage, but I really don't know how to add that to my code.What I was thinking was something in the lines of a for loop. Something like creating the picture's holder inside that for loop so each will be like, picHolder1, picHolder2, picHolder3...and so on. And with that, on completion of the preloader I would remove something like "picHolder -

i just wrote a radial preloader. i have a problem though: there seems to be some "residue". it is for a small gallery.. so when i test the loader using the bandwidth simulation, the first time it look perfect, but the second time, i can see part of the preloader from the first frame, and as soon as the preloader reaches the leftover region, that region is cleared.

adding all the bricks of another movie clip into an array in my controlling mc (GameScreen). Except, when I try to remove them from the display list by accessing them from their array, I get
Quote:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()...and so on
I'm guessing it's something to do with adding another movie clip's children into an array in a movieclip that isn't the stored clips' direct parent, but it's parent's parent.

Well I'm starting to really enjoy AS3, my next question then is this: In AS2 I'd often remove all movieclips with something like this:
PHP Code:
for(var i: String in container) {
container[i].removeMovieClip();
}
Is there something similar in AS3 that I can do without resorting to maintaining an array of references to each child of my container?

I have a menu that is a type of wave, thus I'm using Flash, not HTML. My issue is that I have a bevel on that wave, but that bevel extends onto the text that is a child of the MC that has the bevel. Is there any way that I can remove the bevel from the text (Or technically shapes since they were imported from IL) without removing it from the entire element?
And yes, I've tried this.filters=[];
Also, I can't keep everything one shape in the MC, because I have hover attributes.

trying to remove instances of child/children. I have a function (btFnc) that creates a child (bT) and then the function is called several times to add instances to the stage - btFnc(264,3.6); btFnc(304,4.6); btFnc(344,5.6); btFnc(384,6.6); btFnc(424,7.6);Yet i cannot for the life of me remove all of the children, only 1.
Code:
public class screen18 extends MovieClip {
private var scrnXMLLoader:XMLLoader;//XML Loading class
private var screenTxt:Array;
[code]....
This then repeats for screens 2, 3 & 4.

It only push up when i come back to this page after i navigate to some other page. Does anyone know how to implement this ? P.S. i tried using enterframe and i failed, probally the way i did was wrong or watever.

Isn't there a simple "remove all children" function in flash? I don't understand why this code isn't working. I add children via:
for (var i in project_array[cp].project_type_clips){
container.header.type_loader.addChildAt(project_array[cp].project_type_clips[i],i);
loadCount++
}
And then remove them via:
for (var i in project_array[cp].project_type_clips){
container.header.type_loader.removeChildAt(i);
}
But I get an error that the supplied index is out of bounds, and yet one clip is still left on stage. Likewise, if I try to add them without levels, like this:
for (var i in project_array[cp].project_type_clips){
container.header.type_loader.addChild(project_array[cp].project_type_clips[i]);
loadCount++
}
And remove:
for (var i in project_array[cp].project_type_clips){
container.header.type_loader.removeChild(project_array[cp].project_type_clips[i]);
}
I get the same error.

I tried
while(radar.numChildren > 0){

I want to destroy/remove all the children of an object including grandchildren of those children and so on.
I was thinking of using a recursive loop along the lines "if you have children, check if they have children, if they do, check if THEY have children and so on until they have no children and if so removeChildAt(0) of the parent you last checked.
ActionScript Code:
obj0

A quick second question, we all know that event listeners should be removed when no longer needed but I was wondering about the event.COMPLETE listener for loading say XML or a video file or any loader object. Is there any point removing that listener of is it in effect dead anyway because it has triggered when "COMPLETE" and won't ever trigger again? Isn't it still "listening"?

I have a set of swfs that open one on top of the previous as buttons are pressed. Thing is, once you've pressed buttons so many times that there are a ton of swfs on top of one another, the browser begins to run slower.
Is there anyway to remove all the swfs under the current swf in the code without disrupting the running of the current swf?
