ActionScript 3.0 :: Cannot Remove Display Object Must Be Child Of The Caller?
Jul 24, 2009
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at working_loader_container3_fla::MainTimeline/frame4()
at flash.display::MovieClip/prevFrame()
I have been getting this error after a bunch of different ways of trying this. I am attempting to create a new instance of my movieclip which displays external images via xml. I want a new instance of the movieclip every other frame and need to be able to remove each instance on every other frame. It will work going forwards, with a remove child call but as soon as I go back a frame, the error pops up.

This is the error I am getting....This is the situation I am using addChild and removeChild. I have two main movieclips that this is based around. workss_mc and work_mc. workss_mc is the slideshow, work_mc is the selection grid. When you click on an object in work_mc I am adding adding a child (workss_mc) and removing work_mc at the same time. That works fine; however, in workss_mc I have a back button, this back button is used to remove works_mc once it is removed it sends you back to work_mc. Once you are back on work_mc everything should work completely the same, however, it's like it's ignoring the code.Here is the code for the button:
Code:
urbanthmb_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(event:Event) {
var workss_mc = new mc_workss();[code].......

I have a web site that creates a page by calling another class object. When I return from that page to the Main page I want the old page removed. I have done it like this but I am getting errors.
Two vars in GlobalVarsContainer:
public static var removePages:Boolean;
public static var pageToRemove:Object;
Create new page object:
function onClickBtn1():void {
var servicesHome:ServicesHome=new ServicesHome();
addChild(servicesHome);
}
[Code] .....
This is the error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable servicesHome is not defined.
So I know it's getting back here with all vars set correctly. I've tried changing the public static var pageToRemove:Object; to a string but that is not right.

In document class action script file I add a movie clip to stage using
Code:
public var square:Square
square = new Square
addChild(square)
So it adds square to stage.Then after sometime I want it to be removed. I call a function "removeSquare" also located in document class. It executes the following code. And it removes the square from stage visualy.
Code:
trace("proff that it's executed")
removeChild(square)
square = null
Then of course I want to add a square to stage again, using code I written at top of the post. And remove it again, and so on..But game is lagging more and more and more. So I guess that the square is not properly removed. If you need more details about my code feel free to say, I just written that since I really doesn't know what else should be important.

I'm basically trying to refresh a jpg image every second from within my flash project. The code so far:
Code:
//This function is called from the loader's event listener.
//It moves the loaded image into the appropriate container for display
function imgLoaded(event:Event):void
[Code].....
And then it will load the picture, then it will throw the error, then load, then throw, etc...
What do I need to do to avoid this error?

how to access a property of a child of a DisplayObject.
within a class i have an object with the variable name: btnLMain i have assigned it a name property: btnLMain.name = "btnLMain"; btnLMain also has a property: btnLMain.clickNum = 0; // thats the one i need to access when i instantiate the class (btnL) containing this code in the parent class i need to access the property "clickNum" so i did this:
var dispObj:DisplayObject = btnL.getChildByName(btnLMain);
displayObj.clickNum++;
but then i get the error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property clickNum through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
so then i reviewed documentation and from what i understand i am not able to access the property of the child of the DisplayObject as it is a static property...
so now i am trying to figure out how to access that property in the child Class.

This code throws an error:
if (modalMessage != null && contains(modalMessage)) {
removeChild(modalMessage); // the error is here
modalMessage = null;
}
The Error is:
[Fault] exception, information=ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
How can this be? I am checking if it is a child beforehand.

I encapsulate my addChild so that I can have an array of all the objects that are on stage for later garbage collection. this is how I do so [code]each gameObject has a property called garbage that is a boolean that is set when ready to be removed. When I set it to tree, this is what happens.ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I having problems setting the child index of a sprite... It works perfectly on the first run of the program, but fails on the second time around. For context this function is in a class which accepts an array of sprites and displays them. My problem is with setChildIndex(_selected as DisplayObject, numChildren-1);
private function enlarge(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (!_open) {
_selected = e.currentTarget;
_selectedOrigX = _selected.x;
_selectedOrigY = _selected.y;
_selectedID = _selected.id;

I have a set of buttons which trigger menu panels to tween up from below the screen. I want these menu panels to be displayed behind the buttons (which are displayed on the button edge of the screen). So I add the menus to the parent container, then I add the buttons, so that the menus would be behind the buttons and getChildIndex(buttons) = 1 and getChildIndex(menus) = 0.
The menus are correctly displayed behind the buttons when I comment out the tween code. But when I implement the tweens and start the tween of the menus, they do their motion tween but are displayed in front of the buttons instead of behind; somehow their display object index order got screwed up.from the Menu class:
Code:
this.tweenIn = new Tween(this, "y", Regular.easeOut, stageHeight, stageHeight - this.height, 2, true);
this.tweenOut = new Tween(this, "y", Regular.easeOut, stageHeight - this.height, stageHeight, 2, true);[code].....
