ActionScript 3.0 :: Delete Movieclips In It?
May 16, 2011
I'm pretty new to actionscript 3.0 and thus I get the feeling I'm making a very juvenile mistake.. either way I have been trying to solve this problem for hours to no avail. I have an assignment in uni to produce a basic flash game that is meant to meet a set criteria involving playing/pausing music, loading external swfs and so on which I have had no problem with.
The one issue I am having however is creating what is essentially a pond game in which a bird is meant to swoop down and pick up a fish. Getting a hit test to detect the collision between the fish and the bird is working fine but I want the fish to delete itself and then generate a new movieclip as the brief specifies. I can get it to generate a new movieclip no problem but for some reason I can't get it to delete the original one. [code]...

I have three movie clips, mc_1 should delete mc_2 and and mc_3 should delete mc_1. I can get mc_1 to delete mc_2 but I can't get mc_3 to delete mc_1. I am getting a trace in the output window confirming both. How do I go about doing it?

I have created app where images are loaded from xml and displayed onscreen as elements, which can be dragged onto a different 'holder' MovieClip. On successful drop the 'holder' movie generates dynamic movieclip as 'mc' and adds a larger version of the droped image. so i can have multiple child of 'holder' everytime a element is dropped.
now i have created a button, on click of which all the elements should be removed. for which I am using the following code
while (mainFrame_mc.imgArea.holder.numChildren > 0){ mainFrame_mc.imgArea.holder.removeChildAt(0); }
this code is removing the child clips as required but later when i again drop another element. nothing shows up. Unable to understand why is this happening. The holder movie clip is physically present on the stage where as only its child movie clips are added dynamically.

I have a for loop that adds 5 movieClips to the stage at a random position every time I click the enterBtn, what I want to do if the enterBtn is click again remove the movieClips previously generated and leave only the new ones on the stage.
Oh, the number "5" in my for loop will be dynamically created so it may be different if the enterBtn is click again (I just used 5 for simplicity).
enterBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculator,false,0,true);
function calculator(event:MouseEvent):void {
for (var i=0; i<5; i++) {

I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st'
2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before

I'm trying to use the delete keyword to remove nodes from an xml file and it just plain won't work.Here's a stripped down example of what I'm working with. Every node has a child named "deleteme". If its value is equal to 1 I want to remove it from the xml file. If its anything else I want to leave it be. The delete method is deffinately gettig call but it's having no effect.

I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............

Looking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}

Printing an MC is easy enough. But I am having trouble printing an MC which has multiple MCs inside of it. They just don't get printed.
I am trying to avoid printAsBitmap.

I want to test mc animations without having to hit F12 to see if they work correctly. For instance, if I have an animation movieclip and then I make another movieclip and drop that aforementioned movieclip within, and animate [via the timeline or library preview] I'm unable to see on-the-fly what my animation looks like... it only shows the top most nest, unless I F12 it.
So if I have a character blinking eyes (one movieclip) and then I create another movie clip of the face, and put that aforementioned movieclip within, the preview animation within the library does not show how it'll be viewed when F12'n it.,,,, it'd be great to see your animations on the fly.

why does a MC inside another MC have different _x and _y values than the main timeline?What I am trying to do right now is animate a MC inside another MC then get the main MC holding everything to move where that new MC ended animating at (it's part of a game I'm making.)
I know it's confusing but Flash shows the cursors current X and Y in the info panel, which is the same as the main timeline. Yet inside the movieclip, an x of 76 and a y of 277 on the timeline is -195 and -30.9 (respectively) inside the MC.How do I fix it so I can get the _x and _y values to match up so I can tell the main MC to reposition itself to the new X and Y (of the inside MC)

I have a movieclip called mapWindow, inside mapWindow are dynamically created movieclips of various sizes. The movieclips inside the mapWindow don't take up the entire space of the mapWindow and thus I use a startDrag on the mapWindow upon detection of a mouse press. The problem is, I don't want the start drag to start if the mouse is detected over any of the child movieclips inside mapWindow.
I have a few ideas of how to proceed, but I'm not sure how to reference all child movieclips of a particular movieclip - or something along those lines.
It would be easy to use the hittest function if I knew how to reference all the movieclips I need to, but alas...

I'm using flash MX 2004 Professional. What im trying to is the following: I have 9 movie clips, each has a "closed" and "open" state. Basically, when I click no.1 I want it to animate open, and then, when I click no.2, it must first check if any of the other clips are in their "open" state and if so, close them. I've worked with the following, but it doesnt seem to be working:

I am starting with AS3 programming icm with Flash Builder 4.I have created a "Main" class which is the initial stage.On this stage there is a movieclip called mcMain.In this mcMain is 4 other movieclips: mcStats1 mcStats2 mcStats3 mcStats4 .How can I access these mcStats1-4 from the code to make them go to another frame?I tried:
var t:MovieClip = MovieClip(getChildByName("mcMain"));
t.getChildByName("mcStats1").gotoAndPlay(3);
But that just keeps giving me null reference errors:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I used to work in AS2 and something like this worked:
mc1.mc2.onRelease = function () {
mc3.gotoAndStop(2);
}
But converting it to AS3, it doesn't work anymore.
function goMC (e:MouseEvent):void {
mc3.gotoAndStop(2);
}
mc1.mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goMC);
What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to control movieclips within movieclips.

I am trying to delete some copy but when I do it, it leaves a huge black space (previewed in Firefox and Safari on Mac) which is the space left when I deleted the script and I don't know how to close up the black space (like I would do in indesign or Word). I am doing something wrong but I don't know how to fix this simple thing.

This code just generates a new ham_mc where the user releases the original (drag and drop). The original returns to its starting point. I have the same code for a movieclip called cheese_mc, the user can drag and drop cheese too.
So, if more than one of these ham_mc's and cheese_mc's are created, what is the best way to delete the last one created?
