ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing The Entry From The Array And Children?
May 6, 2009Okay I have two arrays, one full of bullets, the other enemies. They compare each array and hit detect. The splice function is removing the Array instance of the enemy. Now, this is all good for removing the entry from the array, the trace function says this is working, but I'm not sure how to remove the child from the stage here? I figure calling a custom class from here such as enemy.die(); is possible, but how do I specify the instance that was hit detected? Sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense but I am just learning and trying everything I can think of.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button In SWF Loading New And Replacing Previous One

Apr 1, 2010What I've got is a holder swf that loads in a separate swf. Within this loaded swf there is a button, that when pressed, removes itself (as in, the swf the button is placed within is removed) from the holder swf and loads in a new swf.
This seems incredibly complicated to achieve, at least I think it is

ActionScript 1/2 :: Replacing A Movieclip Without Changing It's Children/depth/tweens
Feb 5, 2010I would like to be able to draw a simple box as a background/placeholder, dress it up with buttons and movie clips at design time, and at runtime call a function to replace the simple box with a new design. How would I go about doing this? I have a graphic design that is too complicated to make with flash. So i made a piece of actionscript that can restyle any existing movieclip. This piece of code works. It basically gets the coordinates of the specified mc, creates a new one in it's place and deletes the original. Unfortunately this also removes any nested movieclips and buttons and breaks animation tweens of this mc. So if the original mc would have a button on it and animates from left to right, the new one doesn't.
mc.clear(); looked very promising, but it only clears stuff you put on it at runtime while I need to clear the stuff from design-time. (= the simple box drawing object)Creating a movieclip with the same name, at the same depth doesn't seem to work. oldbox.parent.createEmptyMovieClip(oldbox._name, oldbox.getDepth()); The old movieclip keeps existing and neither of them animates.So I'm searching for a way to replace a movieclip or clear it's content at runtime.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Removing One Movie Clip In And Replacing With Another
Jun 1, 2011I have various movie clips that play when a button is clicked.My first movie clip (instance name is "MCABOUT") which plays on the press of the button called "about". I have another movie clip (instance name is "MCPORTFOLIO") which plays when another button called "portfolio" is pressed. I have a stop() applied within each movie clip so that they stop playing once they reach their end frames. My question is: How do I get the "ABOUT" movie clip to disappear from the stage when I click the button for "PORTFOLIO" and how do I apply this to make any additional movie clips disappear from the stage once another button is clicked so that the movie clip attached to that button plays (in other words, whatever movie clip is presently on the stage disappears)?

Nov 9, 2009I have created a flash file to serve as an image gallery with several different chapters. Each individual chapter is represented by a different frame on the timeline. On each chapter/frame, there is a thumbnail gallery at the bottom of the screen. When you click on the thumbnail, I have loaders set up to load and display the full size image. Then I have a loaderX.addEventListener set up so that when you click on the loaded image, it disappears. The problem occurs when you leave a full-size picture open, and then you navigate to another frame. Then when you try and click on it, you can't remove it anymore.
Now, I can't remove the loader(s) when the next chapter button is clicked because unless the user has clicked on the thumbnail, the loader has not been added to the stage, so there won't be anything to remove. I tried adding the following 'if' statement into the function that navigates to the next frame,
'if(stage.NumChildren >0){stage.removeChildAt(0)}
but the problem with that is that then it just removes all the children and either doesn't advance to the next frame or is just removing all children on the next frame as well, so i end up with an empty stage.
I've been dealing with this problem for close to two weeks now, and I can't even find a bulky way around it, never mind finding a tight clean fix.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Children Using RemoveChild
Apr 25, 2010I am using a loader to load an asset to the stage from a class, the image is called "1.jpg". Using a timer event, after a certain amount of time that image is to be replaced with image "2.jpg", then after some time it is replaced with "3.jpg". etc.The way I set it up is using a series of if statements inside the timer function. At timer count 10, I first remove the child from the stage and then load the new image.[code]
However the removeChild(my_loader) does not work, it gives an error saying that it cannot be null

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reusing Datagrid, Removing Previous Data & Repopulating?
May 25, 2011I have a datagrid in a flash app. The intial use works fine. The flash has the ability to recalculate the needed data which I then use to repopulate the existing datagrid. What is the best way to clear out a datagrid and repopulate it?I tried:ifxGrid.dataProvider.removeAll();but it does not clear out the previous dataifxGrid.removeAllColumns();this worked a little but not entirely.So what's currently happening is that the new data is appended to the old data. So if I had 50 rows in the 1st calculation and then I have 70 rows in the 2nd calculation I end up with 120 rows of data in my datagrid.

I know I need to determine if the container movieclip contains anything. I don't know how or what I should put and where to put it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Children Based On Location?
Mar 11, 2010Question 1Whats a good example of removing objects from stage that aren't within the stages boundries. I first tryed using a transparent box and hittesting. then i realized that you cannot hittest an object that isn't on stage, to check if needs added. so i came up with this.
Code:
for (nn=-1; nn<2;++nn){
if (this.hu1.room+nn>=0 && this.hu1.room+nn<this.walls.ar.length){
for each (n in this.walls.ar[hu1.room+nn].ar){[code]....
That way it only adds the object if its not currently on the display list or am i better off just giving all objects an onscreen:Boolean variable?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Coding Hierarchy And Removing Children?
Jan 20, 2010To give a brief background of what's going on here.I am building a personal site where I have a navigation, and I have other subnavs inside of certain pages.Such as if I go to "work" inside of work i have "motion", "web" & "print".Here is some example code of one button on the navigation:
nav_mc.personalbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick2);
function buttonClick2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("personal");[code]...
It seems to me that actionscript will not read all the way down to the bottom when looking for objects.For example: The first if statement where it's asking if workss_mc exists or not, that will work if it's at the top, but if I move it down to the bottom it will not work.
Actionscript 3 :: Removing Parent Memory Used By All The Children?
Sep 17, 2010I'm making a rather large flash project and so I'm concerned about memory usage. At the end of each section of the application I remove the overarching parent element that holds the content. Although this remove the parent, does this also free up the memory for each of the children contained within this, or should I run an iteration to remove those prior to removing the parent?
I'll give a little more explanation in-case I'm not expressing what I want:
addChild(movie1);
movie1.addChild(movie2);
movie1.addChild(movie3);
By using this code:
removeChild(movie1);
Does it remove movie2 and movie3 from memory or are they still stored, just unlinked?
