ActionScript 3.0 :: DisplayObject Must Be Child Of Caller Error On Button Click
Mar 20, 2011
I am going through simple tutorial that adds children of a pages upon a button click. The program runs fine but I keep getting this error when one of the buttons are clicked. The buttons were duplicated and have individual names and instance names. But one button keeps throwing the error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at Main/onLastButtonClick()
Following is the code, the library contains 3 pages named StartPage, MidPage, FinalPage and 3 Buttons called NextButton, LastButton, and ReturnButton:
HTML Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class Main extends MovieClip {

I'm getting this error: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller
I've read about it here and on other forums, but have not come across the same situation I am in, I fixed it but am just looking for clarity:I create 3 containers, one for a slideshow that gets masked by graphics, another that contains the navigation, and a 3rd that contains the content the navigation will load. I create the slideshow container and it's mask, then I create the nav container, then later I create the content container. I want to removeChild(contentContainer) after I choose a second navigation item or just want to clear the content. Simple, and it works fine, done it a million times.
THEN: I want the contentContainer to have an index number between the slideshow and the navigation containers. I set the slideshow container index to 0, then the content container index to 1, (and I've tried a number of other combinations) and I am no longer able to remove content container beacuse of the error that gets thrown above. In fact any combination of setting the content container to anything other then 0 will throw this error. Why would this be? The only answer was to set the content container index to 0, then set the slideshow index to 0
works:
setChildIndex(contentContainer,0);
setChildIndex(slideshowContainer,0);
function mouseUP(e.Event){ removeChild(contentContainer)[code]....

I have a swf file that is loaded via addChild on frame 11, once the animation of this swf file has finished playing, the main swf then goes back to frame 1. However, this is where this issue comes in. Even though I have removed the child once, it seems to keep on trying to remove it again and again, this goes in to a continuous loop.

I have a display() function for an object rotator(image based like a QT object movie). It first saves the current image in a helper variable and then allocates a new image, from the library, beneath the old one. To get a nice crossfade effect, the old image's alpha is looped down via enter_frame and then removed.
Which is where there seems to be an issue with the display list, maybe recognizing oldImg's value as being already added? (it's not a first pass error)
Btw, do i have to remove the old image or can i leave it, for when it's being called up via the mouse position again? (the image number can get fairly large)
function display(num:Number):void //num: image number
{
...
oldImg = newImg;

I have inherited a FLEX 4 project that invokes web services to display data to the end user.
My default package has one .MXML file, that has the component references to the Login screen (another .MXML file) and the Main screen (yes, another .MXML file).
The login process works fine. I have 3 tabs, with a 4th tab I am adding now.
The tabs are created using elements within a TabNavigator. I have added a 4th VBOX, like so:
<mx:VBox label="Data Analysis" width="100%" height="100%">
<componenets:DeviceLineChart />
</mx:VBox>

Been struggling with this in multiple projects. I try to spawn enemies in a Flash game and perform cleanup by removing the out of bounds enemies.
Here's how:
enemyArray contains references to the spawned enemy objects.enemyLayer is the movieclip that contains the spawned enemies.
[Code]...
But I get the "The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller" error. What am I doing wrong?
I've tried: removeChild(enemyArray[i]) as well, removing the enemyLayer reference, but get the same error.

I am in the middle of creating a shooting game. I just have a plane which is controlled by arrow keys and bullets are fired when spacebar is pressed. Enemies come and are removed when bullet hits it. Everything else is working fine but when the bullets hit the enemy I am getting this error
"ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()

Rest is working fine I think. Here are the two function where I am removing bullets and enemies
bullet function
Actionscript Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fireBullet);function fireBullet(event:KeyboardEvent):void{ if(event.keyCode==32) {//trace(score);score++; var bullets:Sprite = new bullet(); bullets.x=myPlane.x+myPlane.width/2;bullets.y=myPlane.y+8; bulletTrack.addChild(bullets); bulletTrack.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveBullet); } function

I have set up a series of buttons that show an image when rolled over and then the image disappears on roll out. A sample of the code I am using is below:
costume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER , loadCostume);
function loadCostume (e:MouseEvent):void {
var newCos:feather = new feather ();
this.addChild(newCos);[code]....
It works fine first time through but on roll out the second time you visit any button it gives me the following error message:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()

I am getting this error
PHP Code:

Here is my code just a simple removeChild should work.. but it gives me an error.
PHP Code:
function homeScene2(event:MouseEvent) {trace("button clicked");removeChild(imageText);removeChild(thumbHolder_mc);thumbHolder_mc.removeChild(imageLoader);removeChild(imageLoader);gotoAndStop(1,"1");}
is there a simple way to remove all Children in one shot without so much code like this? Could a simple removeChildren work?
here is a look at the children in the same code..
PHP Code:
addChild(imageLoader);thumbHolder_mc.addChild(imageLoader);addChildAt(thumbHolder_mc, 0);addChild(imageText);

I have tried to grasp this concept, but cannot believe the cluster F that as3 has done with loading a swf and then removing it.Whereas in As2, you would simply loadMovie into a movieClip's instance name. If you wanted it gone, you could simply replace it with something new, or unloadMovie. Simple.Now...to even load a movie in...you have to create variables, create a movie clip, create a loader, then create a url request, then load that url request into the loader, then addchild so that the loader is on the stage? And to remove it, is next to impossible.So here is my code..
function loadMovie (){
var my_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var my_Loader:Loader = new Loader();[code]....
That code when tested gives me....Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. When I try to run the removeMovie function.

My issue today is a DisplayObject error I'm getting when remove a child object. I have code that will launch(addChild) a video container and video controls as well as add a close button. Now the close button works fine and everything, removing the video and controls and I'm able to choose another video again, but when you click close a 2nd time I get this error: ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild() So I've narrowed down the problem to where I remove the videoContainer (which holds the video object) My code to play the videos:

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?

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.
