ActionScript 3.0 :: Enemies Not Being Removed From Stage When Clicked On With Mouse?
May 17, 2011
I have ran into another problem, I have written the code for when I click on an enemy, it doesnt add a point to the score and it doesn't remove the enemy, I have a textfield which is called messageDisplay which is linked to the clickEnemy function.Here is the piece of code.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickEnemy); function clickEnemy(event:MouseEvent):void { if(cursor.hitTestObject(enemyAppear)) { score++ messageDisplay.text = String(score); enemyAppear.parent.removeChild(enemyAppear); } } stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickEnemy);

When bullets hit the wall of multi-colored blocks, when shot one by one, they disappear like they should. But if you hold down the Left Mouse Button, you will see that bullets stop in mid-travel and I can't figure out how to fix that.
See this occur in this SWF. Note:(Use A & D to move left to right, Z to add a new row, and Left Click to shoot)
Here's the important function in the Bullet class.
Code:
public function update():void {
if(global == null){
trace("Global es null.");

I've noticed that using stage.addChild(obj)(i.e. creating objects on the fly) can slow down frame rates.I was told by several sources that one way to speed up a flash game engine (or any animation where instances are generated as you progress), is to reuse objects in what is known as object pooling.
First of all a bit of background:The game engine I'm working on can be found at: http:[url]....Most objects (i.e. bullets, particles, enemies...) are exported for actionscript, each with a set of actions that are performed each frame, and another set of actions upon being created.Each class has an array called instanceList, which keeps track of all objects currently within play.The main timeline contains an event.ENTER_FRAME function mainActions(event:Event):void, that loops through each of the instances and performs the actions associated wit11h each.It goes through each instance of each class by going through the static array instanceList().
Now what I plan to do is:Have a seperate static array for each class, called inactiveInstances,which keeps track of deleted objects.Introduce a function for adding the objects back to the stage (with the nesscessary variables reset), to give the impression of a new object being created.When objects are destroyed:Should they be removed from the stage and readded latter e.g. removeChild(obj2)/addChild(obj1)? e.g.
Code:
public function instance_destroy()
{
parent.removeChild(this)
//Remove all refferences and listeners[code].....

The REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event is fired before the object is actually removed from the stage. I'm looking for a performant way to know when the object is finally removed.

In the past, using Flash CS3 when I needed to remove timers or event listeners from a swf that had been loaded into a parent swf I'd use this inside the loaded swf:
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, deactivate, false, 0, true);
function deactivate(e:Event):void
{
[code]....
Now that I've upgraded to CS5 and am outputting to Flash Player 10 this no longer seems to work. The event fires right away. Does anyone know why this might be and if there's an alternative that I can use?I tried the unloadAndStop() method in the parent swf but I'm trying to remove some TweenMax delay timers and it doesn't seem to be working.

I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I have a main swf that I load external swfs onto the stage. I am trying to fix the loading order. Currently when a button is pressed, the swf is preloaded, the current swf is on the stage with the preloader showing, then the preloader disappears and the swf plays the outro transition.
how to change the order so that currently loaded swf is removed from the stage, show the preloader and then show the new swf.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;

I have two FLV files playing on the stage. The main FLV is instance is: MyVideothe 2nd is MyVideo2I have imported the videos using the wizard. The 2nd video is just a movie I created in Affter Effects that says...loading please wait....this is a really nice video and I don't want it to just use a standard preloader. Anyway, the goal is when the playback for "MyVideo" begins I would like "Myvideo2" to = visible = false;I have tried this many different ways and have been unsuccessful. I am obviously a newb at this. Also, does anyone know where I can get a list of all available eventListener actions...etc?
//var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
//connection_nc.connect();
//var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);

I am working in on a Flex / Air application (using PureMVC) written virtually entirely in ActionScript 3 (i.e. we use very little of Flex). View components are added to a Canvas object in the main application window and these Views then load other movie clips, images files, etc.When I remove a View from the stage, I do so using application.canvas.removeChild(). This fires an event in my PureMVC mediator for that View, which removes any event listeners that were set up and everything appears to be dandy.However, the movie clips are still playing in the background. They are not causing any trouble on screen but they are simply there, playing somewhere in memory (e.g. I can see trace statements from them) and I want them gone. I suspect the View that was removed from the Canvas is still there too, but I can't prove it.
Setting the View to null doesn't do anything. I'm surprised that AS3 doesn't include any method to simply and effectively destroy a Display Object and all of its children.Is the only way to do this to tediously unload all of the movie clips, etc. and then hope that Flash will clean them up?

I was told that if you load a new SWF into a loader that has an existing SWF that the second SWF will replace the object(the first SWF) in the loader and in the display list.Does this mean that the first SWF is removed from the stage once the second SWF is loaded? I am asking because I would like to know if my this.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removedFromStageHandler1); in the first SWF will fire once the second SWF is loaded.

I have an app that has 3 movie clips, serving as buttons (mainbutton[0], mainbutton[1], etc) I use the addchild method to add these clips to the stage (the clip base element is in my library).I then create an empty movie clip:
var navGroup:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
I then add some movie clips to this clip: using a for loop:
for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
navGroup.addChild(mc[i]);
}
[code]....
When I click the button on the stage - the code with the for loop runs, and adds clips to the navGroup clip, and then to the main button. But the stage and the items on the stage shift down a few pixels. This happens on the first button I click. If I click some other button, the stage shifts up (with the items etc.), but if I click the last button, no shift occurs. If I go back to the first button I clicked, the stage will shift down!
I traced the coordinates for the stage and the buttons, but their numbers all stay the same, like x = 0, y = 0, etc.The items in my library all are movie clips, with a 0,0 reference point. The three main buttons are on the stage at x=16, and y = the height of the button plus 10 pixels for space between them, added to the first button's y pos on the stage. like button1, x=16, y=100 and the height is 32 pixels.

I have a website [URL] when I go there if I click the video archives button then play a video then click on the home or photos button or one of the alternate background buttons on the left the video goes away as it should but not always the audio (especially when I click while the video is still buffering). Is there a command I can use to kill the sound from the flvPlayback component and nothing else(I have a mp3 player there also I so I don't want to use the SoundMatrix class. btw the videos are all played on an instance of the flvPlayback component.

I'm working on [URL] and I am using a small swf over the milk carton on the left. I use it to make it look like text being entered is on the milk carton. So its just a textfield and a button.
When the user clicks in the text box it clears and allows typing. This is good. This is the part I'm stuck on: If the user changes their mind about typing and clicks somewhere else on the screen (outside of the swf) I want the example text to return and the text cursor to stop flashing.

Version: CS3, Flash AS3.
I want to detect whether the mouse has been clicked outside of a sprite (ie. a mouse click event anywhere on the screen except the sprite).
The idea is that you click outside an activated sprite to deactivate it. This is how menus and comboboxes function, but I can't see any way of doing it in actionscript.
