ActionScript 3.0 :: Checking To See If Movieclip Is On The Stage If So Removing It?
Sep 14, 2009
The reason I am trying to check to see if a movieclip is on stage or not is to remove it when someone clicks another section of the navigation. say they click work_mc, then they click a button in work_mc, this launches workss_mc. I want to check on the navigation is workss_mc is on the stage or not, if so remove it. This is what I have so far but it doesn't seem to be working..
Code:
nav_mc.skillsbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick3);
function buttonClick3(event:MouseEvent):void{
var workss_mc:mc_workss;
[Code]....

How can i check if a click was on the stage (not on a other object in front of the stage - just on a place where no other object is - directly on the stage) OR on a movieclip (name "mcSlideHolder") like i'm trying here?

How can i check if a click was on the stage (not on a other object in front of the stage - just on a place where no other object is) or on a movieclip (name "mcSlideHolder")?
function onMouse_Down(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("MouseDown occured");
[Code]....
My Problem is, that e.target.name is null, when clicking on the stage. When clicking on the mcSlideHolder e.target.name is "instance235".

I placed a movieclip on the stage, what functions are there to remove it?
removeMovieClip(target);
Only seems to work on MCs which have been attached to the stage E.g.
attachMovieClip();
The _visible property keeps the movieclip there just keeps it invisible. What completely removes it? It is called tankCPU.

In my .fla file, I have a MovieClip (we'll call it Clip1) linked to a corresponding class defined in a separate .as file.There's a case where I want to create a new MovieClip (Clip2) where Clip1 is, then remove Clip1. This case is dealt with by a function in Clip1's class.So, when I get to removing I do:ActionScript Code:this.parent.removeChild(this)Now, if the DocumentClass created Clip1 and placed it on the screen, this goes fine. But if Clip1 was placed on the stage in the .fla file (by dragging and dropping), it looks like Clip1 is not removed. I think it does get removed, but for some reason it gets recreated. This is the problem.

I'm trying a shooting game from an incomplete tutorial online. I'm trying to finish it off myself and hopefully learning more in the process but straight away I've hit a brick wall.The stage is 900 x 350. Bullets are fired from a turret near the center of the screen and will travel and eventually leave the stage at some point. I want to remove the bullet from memory and the display list once it has left the stage and can no longer be seen.I'm using a conditional if statement to check the x and y position of the movieclip, and if it outside the width or height of the stage then I want to remove it completely.
PHP Code:
stop();var angle:Number=0;var radiansToDegrees:Number=180/Math.PI;var degreesToRadians:Number=Math.PI/180;var currentTurretRotation:Number;var

I've got a movieclip animation which is added to the stage at the start of the .swf.Its an introduction to the game, and the user is encouraged to click on the movieclip to start the animation.Once the animation is finished I'd like the movieclip to be removed from the stage.Do I need to setup some sort of event handler which listens out if the movieclip has finished then start a function once its finished to remove it from the stage? Which methods look out for movieclips finishing?

Now, on a certain event (KEY_DOWN in this case) I want to replace one movie clip with another, which seemed pretty easy. Add the new object, move it to the correct place, then erase the current object.Apparently it's not. If the MovieClip is added to the stage, when I call
Code:
this.parent.removeChild(this)
, the MovieClip gets removed, then it reappears.

I cant get this working at all, I have a movieclip that when it gets to frame 22 I want it removed from stage. As it gets to this frame it increases a variable by 100 and when I have it invisible it keeps increasing the variable infinitely which I dont want. How do I completely remove the movieclip from the stage (it starts placed on the stage from my library).

I have checked the forums for a solution but I cant seem to find anything that works quite like I need it to. Or maybe I just don't understand?
Code:
function BiographyExternal():void
{
var PageBios:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Biographies.swf");
[Code]....
This works when I want to add a movie clip, but what if I want to try and remove it? I need to check if it exists first right?
Basically in another function I want to check if this file is loaded and if it is, I want to remove it.

What I am trying to achieve is to remove an array (containing a single MovieClip multiple times) from the stage alltogether, once you call an end public function. I can remove all the other Movieclips on stage (that are not in the array) using this.removechild(MyChild) The array is located in a package, calling another package where the MC is located, and put on stage with Event.ENTER_FRAME.

I have 5 movieClip buttons. I want the GALLERY button to stay on the stage at all times, "which it does" but i want when the user clicks on 1 of the other 4 buttons for the remaining 3 to disappear. Example... when the user clicks on the KIDS button, the COUPLES, PORTRAITS AND BELLIES buttons disappear, or when the user clicks on COUPLES, for the KIDS, PORTRAITS AND BELLIES buttons to disappear, and so on.

I'm having problems with something somewhat simple. We're going to a trade show and needed a video that would randomly load a SWF clip on one scene, then I have the timeline move to another after a delay and then go to the next part to load an image, then I have it restart and do it again, for a never-ending looping video at our booth.
I'm running into an issue though, when it loops and plays the SWF for the 2nd time, the old content still remains and the new content plays over the previous one. I figured the issue was I needed to remove the previous clip before loading a new one. I found some code that I thought SHOULD work but can't seem to get it right.

I am trying to build a simple class, where my object(s) that get put on the stage continually checks through an EnterFrame Event the y position of an animation on the stage, and if the y pos of this animation is greater than the object doing the checking, then I want to remove it from the stage.[code]

I am making a game where you are attacked by a waves of zombies. The first 'wave' is just one zombie and when this is off stage (either gone passed you or been killed) i use this code to check if it's gone and then instigate the 2nd wave of enemies (ie, change wave2ready variable to true)
ActionScript Code:
if( _root.Zombie1)
{
wave1Timer = wave1Timer + 1;
[Code]....
However this sets wave3ready to true when any one of Zombie 2 3 or 4 are destroyed.

I'm working on a SmartVersioning ad using MediaMind using ActionScript 2 (the publisher doesn't allow AS3).
Skipping over how it's implemented - basically what I have is a collection of MovieClips on the main timeline that contain a swappable image (through the Smart Versioning service). You can only define objects as Smart Versioning objects if they are on the main timeline.
What I'm doing with this is using BitmapData to use the assets on the main timeline as a source for the graphics throughout the animation.
Should be as easy as:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(143, 230, true, 0);
bmd.draw(_root.person1);
attachBitmap(bmd, getNextHighestDepth());

I have this flash timeline with an empty movieclip in it. And i have some button that attaches an 'actionscript-exported' movieClip from the library..[code]Now...each time i press that button, the 'some_mc' loads. Is there some clever way of checking if the movieclip has already loaded, so that it doesn't load if it's already loaded.[code]

I have a series of movieclips placed on the stage, that I have all given the same base class. When a movieclip is clicked, they scale up to 100%, and when clicked again, they scale back to their initial scale.What I would like, is to make it so that if another movieclip has already been scaled up previously, that movieclip will scale back down to it's original size, before the other movieclip that has just been clicked on, scales up. This is the basic code I currently have for all my movieclips:
Code:
private function fullImage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
parentX = MovieClip(parent).x;[code].............

I got a very short question but I can't seem to find it on the internet (might be because I'm using the wrong terms). Is it possible to listen with a listener when a movieclip has been resized? I know there is a listener to do this with the Stage object. If this is not possible: do I have to make an interval that constantly checks if a movieclip is resized?

if you have a movieclip nested inside another clip, and you scale the parent clip, how do you see what the nested clips new sizes is?
so i have a circle(50x50) movieclip nested inside a container clip.
i scale the container clip, and then trace the nested circles width and still get a width of 50, the question is.... how do i get the size of the scaled circle, and not its original size?

I have a main. fla with navigation btns activated by GoToFrame actions. Some btns load content and some use the UI loader component.
I have one btn that calls a UI loader "loaderVideoGallery" which loads an external .swf inside that .swf is an flv player "flvPlayer".
This also works fine except after that button is selected and that swf is on stage no matter what button you call next the video stream from the flv does not stop, it continues to play.
The UI loader removes itself as you can see the other loaders come up on button presses but the video's audio still plays.
the UI Loader instance is "loaderVideoGallery" and the .flv player inside the external .swf is flvPlayer
I was told to use
MovieClip(loaderVideoGallery.content).flvPlayer.st op()
I would think that the logical place to put this code would be inside the btns where the EventListeners are, is that correct?

I wanna remove everything from stage if i click on an image. Well it ain't that hard but there is one problem. I want to leave albumbg on stage but it's a child of bg and if i removeChild(bg) it will remove all the childs of bg so also albumbg. The problem now is, if i set the albumbg to addChild(albumbg) it won't show up.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I am making a little drag and drop game where you click on a movieclip, which acts as a button. When the moviclip/button is clicked a duplicate of that same movieclip, only larger, is added to the stage. You then drag and drop it in a designated area on the stage.
I have that part of the code working fine. What I need is a reset button that removes the larger movieclip that was dragged. I am not sure how to do this.Below is my code that is working fine. In the code I am the movieclip instance is named "myMC" and its class is "MyMC".
myMC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveMC);
function moveMC(e:MouseEvent){
var newMC:MyMC = new MyMC();
[code]....
I tried removeChild for (myMC); and that removed everything. I only want to remove the second larger duplicate movieclip "newMC".

I have a main timeline which loads swfs in certain frames. It all works great except when I select one of the swfs that has a flv video inside. When I try to select any other frame the swf unloads but the audio stream remains.
Here is what I have
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number = 0;
var swf:MovieClip;
[Code].....
I will have 3 more swfs with videos inside which I did not add yet as I need to get this sorted first.

So I have a 5 page website, on the home page when I opens you see a video and it automatically plays. When you click to a different page though you can still hear the sound in the background. The video has an instance name of video, I tried using video.stop(); in the code for each button and it works but then it doesn't allow me to navigate when it isn't away from the home page.Here is the code I have for one of my buttons (it's the same for the others with different names though):
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoFrame);
function gotoFrame(e:MouseEvent):void
{
