I have an external class added to the document when a menu is opened. When the menu is closed the function is removed.
But then the document tries to run onEnter function of the class, which references stage and I get the null error. How should I set it up so the document doesn't run the class after removeChild()?

If I removeChild frame animated Movieclip, will it automatically stop running the frames inside it? Actually without calling mc.stop();
View 2 RepliesI created two children from my document class "MainClass". One (hero) is of the class "HeroDo" and another is from the class "canDy".
Code:
public static var hero:HeroDo=new HeroDo
public static var blue:canDy=new canDy[code]....
...
Now the simple thing I want to do is to remove the "blue" child from within a function of the "hero" child and the hero child to remove itself from "its inside".I tried this, but it gives me an error. :C

I wanted to create a class that you send a display object to and it tweens out (lets just say fades out for now), and then removes it from it's parent, and nulls it. So this is what I came up with:
Code:
package com.TweenOut{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
[code]...
but, i'm getting this error.. TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.Pages:esignPage@2786f9d1 to com.TweenOut.TweenKill.So, obviously it can't convert _livePage.. but.. am I misunderstanding the error, is it trying to convert it to com.TweenOut.TweenKill, or is it just not able to convert it to a DisplayObject like I assume??
Also, I should note that _livePage is a subclass of a custom class I wrote, and that class is a subclass of MovieClip.. Doesn't that mean that _livePage would be a DisplayObject? Does this have to do with calling the super() in either of those super classes?
I'm making great headway into understanding all of this as3 stuff, but some things still get me. I'm having trouble understanding the big picture, I feel like there has to be a better way to handle "page changes" or "section changes". For instance, am I doing it a weird way by making a class that tweens out anything I send to it? Should I just be doing the tween and removal inside the class that the DisplayObject is a child of?
I'm working on a game where I'm adding a symbol (an enemy unit) from the Library via addChild() to an instance on the Stage. The symbol has Linkage/Class enabled so I can stick stat variables directly on it for easy access.The problem is that I want to use the same name for enemies (like en0, en1) in different areas, but if I try to removeChild(), I get Error 1067: Implicit coercion of type Class to type DisplayObject.
View 1 RepliesI have started learning AS3 after a long stint doing work on AS2, and to test my abilities, I decided to make a quick breakout game. It has gone fine so far until I get to the part where I need to remove the bricks when they are hit. My current code for the class of a Brick is attached, and is started when a Brick is minstantiated on the Stage. However, when I use:
parent.removeChild(this);
it makes the Brick invisible but the AS3 code still runs and the ball bounces off where the moveiclip of the Brick used to be; the eventListener for ENTER_FRAME I added still runs even though I have deleted the MovieClip. This doesn't work either:
this = null;
I have to say I don't like the whole Garbage Collection idea of AS3; it seems half-hearted and uncontrollable; being a .NET developer I am used to more control than this. What was wrong with "this.removeMovieClip();" and how can I correct this? My current swf: http:[url]....(there are other things wrong, like bad collision detection,
I ave created my first class Ellipse, which I am using to make a simple drawing app. This is simply an excercise so I can understand the Proces of writing more complex ode.Everything was going well but I cannot erase what I produce on the stage. I created a box_mc as a way to contain the drawing but only the box_mc is removed not the drawing, which I thought was inside. I have tried changing the class and Base Class in the properties but that did not work.I'm attaching the code bot Class.as and the fla file as they stand now so maybe someone can point me in the right direction.I was wondering if I need to introduce code in the original Class that mentions removeChild();
View 13 RepliesI'm trying to build a conditional statement that will addChild and removeChild at different Timer Delays. Before I go any further, I thought, I should mention that I'm usinig TweenMax to ease the alpha of ease Child from 1 to 0 and back during the process to imitate a fade-in/out.
I'm getting issue with only one line - inside a conditional statement.It's running "OK". The movie runs as I want it, but the remove/addChild transitions are not at the speed I want it at. I am getting an error message in the output, but other than that, the movie runs fine.

I've created a MovieClip that opens other MovieClips. These MovieClips are galleries with example of my art and such. Within these gallery MovieClips there is a "close" button, which is actually another MovieClip.
the problem
Everything works except that when I open one gallery, then close it, then open it a second time, the "close" button refuses to work.
I thought this was do to my incorrect use of removeChild, but now I don't know.
This is made slightly tougher by the fact that closing the gallery involves playing a closing animation, so first I put the removeChild on the last frame of the gallery MovieClip. That had the same result so then I tried it this way.[code]...

I can't upload the file here because it is too big but I will post the code and a tutorial link plus the problem I've been having.
What the code does is, it gets an image and places it on your stage. This image you place there is reduced in size and when you click on it, it creates a magnifying glass effect.
It works like a charm and looks very cool but the problem is that when I want to go to another page of my presentation, the image stays there, this is because of the addChild function I'm guessing.
Once again, no problem, I just added this to the AS code of every page : removeChild.
You've probably already guessed it, this only works when the child has already been placed. If I go to my intro page and I place the code there it will give me an error since the intro comes before the gallery code. If I don't put the code there it only works if the gallery has already been loaded and I click on pages that come after the gallery.
So what I actually need is code that detects if the child has been loaded or not and if it has, it should be removed, if not, don't do anything.
U can find all the code underneath, it's quite a lot.

I'm trying to figure out why I can't remove the child of the meteors immediately after they have hit the planet or a building so that it would only damage the building once. When I try to just 'removeChild(meteorArray[k])' AS says that the 'object must be a child of the caller'. I'm not sure what that means, but I thought that the meteor was the child of the main document class.

I've set up and button/movie clip array so that when a user clicks on a button, that movie clip loads and the old one goes away. What I'd like to do is use "addChild" to load the new movie clip and "removeChild" to remove the previous clip. I've got the addChild thing...sort of...it loads all the movie clips onto the screen at once though and I can't get the script to work another way.
Here's the code I've got:
