Every time i click "add new table" btn, i create new MC. Now i wish to remove any MC from stage... When i click either "Masa1", "Masa2".. and so on, then "delete table" btn, the target MC is removed. How do I do that?
Here is the code so far
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;

View 3 RepliesI am encountering a problem with addChild and removeChild.I would like to add a child when one button is pushed and remove the same child when another button is pushed.The code I am working with doesn't work. (see attached code)and this is the error message I get back.1120: Access of undefined property gallery.
View 2 Repliesi successfully managed to work out the loader script, and load a external swf file into my current project. Now that its working and all is well, i realised that only way to get back to 'main menu' was to close the whole thing. I tried to sort it out with a simple 'back' button but no success there. As mentioned in the title thats the options i found so far but cant seem to quite understand them tbh. I just want it to work so that I easily can manouvre back to 'main menu'.
View 2 Repliesi'm new to AS3 and i was wondering what is the best way to remove a child at a point. i tried Holder.removeChild(Holder.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(exampleX, exampleY))[0]); however that returned ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
View 2 RepliesI have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

So try running a test where you've placed several copies of a movieclip on the stage in the authoring environment and then linked the clip to this class:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
The first clip will remove itself but the rest won't. The trace statement in the contructor isn't even executed which indicates that the other clips aren't even contructed.
So I suppose Flash has some method of contructing all the clips which were placed in the authoring environment and it involves counting the clips and noting their position on the display list. So removing a clip during the process of constructing them will disrupt the process by altering the display list.
But it gets even weirder. Try adding a click event listener to the stage. The clips won't respond at all. But it's not like they're just not mouse enabled, because if they were then the stage would still respond when you clicked them because you'd be clicking what was behind them. Instead they block any mouse events from reaching behind them. So not only are they not constructed, they obstruct any mouse events from occuring in their space, and they're still visible.
I also just discovered that the same applies to all clips that are to be contructed afterwards, regardless of whether they're the same class.
how to remove all child of a movieclip if no of child are not known
View 2 Repliesthis is the script i am using
[Code]...
the problem is that when i click on first button the Movie Clip does load ok but when i click on second button the first movie cliip is visible, i have try everything i have read here but no luck, i want to learn how to remove first child and allow only the second child to show up, i am looking forward to add more buttons so the remove child should be for multiple buttons, i am learning and so far did purchase a online tutorial but did not help me with this situation,
Whenever I try to remove an object/child with enterframe running I always get null reference error.In my particular case, the setup is Battlefield contains a lot of Robot:
A child (Robot) dispatchEvent that it is destroyedThe parent container receives the event and starts removing the child by removeChild and remove the child from an array of Robots.on enterframe, during a loop to move the robots around, sometimes I would get null reference, so I have to call if (robots[i] == null) continue;
How do you safely remove the child without sprinkling if robot is null all over my enterframe?
I am working on a website right now, which involves using framescripts to invoke instance methods from the document class. These methods are supposed to trigger the new content of each page, e.g. a galleryCreate() method that creates an instance of a custom Gallery class. The other job that this method must perform is run a check to see if there are any other children that need to be removed prior to trying to bring up the new content (for example, to prevent multiple Gallery instances from being created, or a Gallery instance being created when a Newsfeed instance is still on the display list).
This was the solution I tried:
script on frame labeled "gallery":
ActionScript Code:
galleryCreate();
Script in document Class after the main constructor. Spaceball is an empty MovieClip declared at the beginning of the class as an easy point of reference to the root.
ActionScript Code:
public function galleryCreate () {
if ((spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery")) != null) {
trace("An instance of the Gallery object was found and deleted");
removeChild(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery"));
} gallery = new Gallery();
addChild(gallery);
}
When I ran the program, I clicked on the button to the gallery page, and the gallery came up alright. However, when I clicked on it a second time, I could see from the alpha of some of the elements that additional classes were being placed on top of the original ones. The trace in the if statement was never registered. So to troubleshoot this problem, I inserted the first two traces into the beginning of the galleryCreate() method, and the last trace at the end.
ActionScript Code:
trace(spaceball.parent) //returns [Object Body], Body being the document class
trace(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery")); //returns null
//after Gallery has been instantiated in the new gallery object
trace(gallery.parent); //this returned [Object Body]
Running the program again, the trace(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery") would consistently return null, followed right after by a trace that recognizes the parent of the newly instantiated Gallery object to be the Document class. Doesn't that mean that it should be recognized as a child during the second iteration of galleryCreate()?
I've only started using Actionscript 3 recently and am having difficulty removing a number of childs from my flash game (a variant of frogger). My aim is when the player's character (WWalk) touches the EndGameZone on the other side of the stage, the generated Lorries should disappear, so I can put an ending animation on scene two. I can get it to load Scene 2 but cannot get rid of the lorries - They just stay still and don't disappear.
Code:
stage.focus = stage;
//adding keyboard control over the character to control direction
stage.addEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, CWWalk);
function CWWalk (e:KeyboardEvent) {
switch (e.keyCode) {

I have included colour to the the event triggers to allow me to see what is happening at the moment the coin_slot image that I add does seem to remove from the stae but there still seems to be something hidden within the stage. This is still in really rough stage of development I just need to figure out the code at the moment.

I have a missile which gets fired once the mouse button is down. The main class snippet is:
ActionScript Code:

The bullet is now flying across the screen thanks to the Rock class which control its velocity and direction. When the missile is off the screen, however, I'd like to remove it, so it doesnt eat up memory. This is how I'm trying to accomplish that (the code's in the Rock class):
ActionScript Code:
public function moveIt(event:Event):void
{
if(this.x > 200)

But yeah, its not working at all. I'm getting the error: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. how to remove the bullets.
I am making a game (surprise, surprise). In the game there are things to collect, possibly lives. I can add them to the screen but removing them is an issue. The best way I have worked out is to create a sprite called livesContainer, add all the lives to that, then, if the user returns to the main menu, I can remove all of the lives by removing that one container. Here's how I create all of the lives and add them to the stage. This all works and you don't really need to read all of it.[code]...

attachMovieClips();
i need a function to remove all the attached movie clips...I assume i need to use removeChild however everything i've tried hasn't worked...
This is just an example.. however i am trying to attach a M.C to attachHere. This is fine. However the following code is thn meant to remove 2 of the attached M.C's but i dont know how to reference it so that it removes the clips that are attached to attachHere...it works fine if i just attach the M.c's to the stage...
