I have an MC that is called from my library when there is a specific error in my movie. My problem is that I cant manage to remove the movie clip when it is on the screen.I have a errorclose_mc button in the error mc (alert_mc) that I want to remove the parent MC (alert_mc)
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a conditional statement that will addChild and removeChild at different Timer Delays. Before I go any further, I thought, I should mention that I'm usinig TweenMax to ease the alpha of ease Child from 1 to 0 and back during the process to imitate a fade-in/out.
I'm getting issue with only one line - inside a conditional statement.It's running "OK". The movie runs as I want it, but the remove/addChild transitions are not at the speed I want it at. I am getting an error message in the output, but other than that, the movie runs fine.

i have about 5 buttons on my site with 5 seperate movie clips (in my library which ive set to export fro runtime),now each button loads its respective movieclip from the library using this code:
function onReleaseHandleraboutBTN(myEvent:MouseEvent)
{
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new aboutMC();[code]....
now this works perfectly and loads up my movieclip hassle free.what i want to do is that when i click on another button it should close the existing movieclip and open its own movie clip, the code i used for that is:
function onReleaseHandlerfaqBTN(myEvent:MouseEvent)
{
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new aboutMC();[code]......
I'm working on a simple Flash game for school. In one level, multiple enemies spawn and the player is supposed to shoot them. I used removeChild() to get rid of the enemy that got shot, but when I click (hit) an enemy, everything on my stage gets removed; it goes completely blank.The function to populate my stage with enemies is the following:
private function Game2():void{
for (var i:uint=0; i<50; i++) {
var man:MovieClip = new man_mc();

I'm new on Flash, i don't know if it possible, but i'm adding a random movieclip to the stage, using addChild, and i need to remove them after 10 seconds...how can i do this using removeChild?
View 2 RepliesI am making a flv player with playlist that has and English and Spanish section. The English is the default section and that works very well but when I click "Spanish" button I am trying to remove all the children that were added at start time and run two new functions that load my Spanish data.
The only thing is that removeChild is not working. I can hear my Spanish video load but the English one is still playing in the background.

I'm loading content into my .fla from an external XML file using URLLoader. Once the XML has loaded, I'm looping through the XML to create an XMLList for certain elements.

I have a problem with my flash application because after a while that it is running, it eventually starts to slow down. My application involves something that needs to be replicated with the addChild() method. I've read some info on the internet which states that the cause of the slowing down or the lag in the application is that the removeChild() does not remove the child from the memory
View 2 RepliesI am using removeChild() to remove a MovieClip. And via tests, I can confirm that it's working fine ( stage.contains(mc) returns false ). But the MovieClip still does not seem to be removed, as if the stage is not updated correctly.

I have my site functioning with swfaddress, and external classes, nothing at all on the timeline.When Im navigating through pages it works well,linking works, backwad and all.. So it works good while Im going FORWARD, but on eventual back button (browser button) how can I removeChild of current page (class) and and call previous page, and have it working as if Im going forward? In my case it calls previous page, but current page is still on display, I have dispose() methods for all classes, just how to call them in case of swfaddress.back() function? Again, no timeline, just external classes as3.

I'm in the right place for this plea from yet another novice trying to learn AS3 in Flash with a couple of very good books but no one to talk to about it - and in danger of losing hair in the process.
My problem: I have a web site containing 8 pages. Each page is a separate movie clip, and each is in a Labeled frame. My intention is to have an overlay for each of the buttons in the top left panel of the home page. On the positive side I have managed to achieve the dynamic placement of an instance of a library movie clip called "sampleAR" via addChild to overlay on top of my home page. But I can't for the life of me get removeChild to rid me of the wretched thing again. My home page is in frame 1 of the movie labeled "Home". This contains a movie clip with the instance name "HomePage" on the stage. Inside the "HomePage" movie clip is my script sitting at the end where the movie stops in frame 44.
The code sits here because this is the only place I've managed to get any kind of result with the following code:

Will this line

I am working in two different applications, one to be compiled for desktop use (AIR) and one to be compiled for the web. They are part of the same project and use the same visual components, but they are completely different apps. When a visual component is changed in one application then it should also change in the other one. Is this a good situation to use a shared library fla? I am new to the concept of shared libraries and I am considering the options.
On one had I would not have to update 2 applications everytime I change something, on the other, I would always have to recompile the library folder when I do the smallest changes to a component.
How can we import images using AS3 code so that when they are imported once will remain in the library forever..
View 3 RepliesI've got a simple question. Suppose some simple lib written on c. Did I understood correctly that alchemy compiles it AS3 before compiling it to swf. If so, will the lib be slower or faster in comparison with the same lib written on AS3.
View 2 RepliesI am making a flash app where I want to have a user defined viewport like the stage in the flash IDE which the user can use to define objects that have a starting postition somerwhere off or on the stage and an ending position either or on or off the stage with the object then tweening between the two points. My question is this: I want the user to be able to define a curved path for the object to tween along. Is there a library of code that I can use to define curved paths for the app?
Ideally I would like something similar to the functionality available in Flash, so a bezier curve sort of path that is subdivided into handles that can be dragged to define the path of the tween. If there isn't an existing library, then do you know of the functions that I would need to define (mathematical equations related to drawing curves etc)?
In my child swf I am using the sound from library with "attachSound". I also use the play/pause button controls of this sound alongwith the other animation.Now when I load this into my main swf file with "loadMovie", It plays fine but no sound. I found that this is due to no sound linkage in my main file library.I want to share my child swf's library with main file's library.

Basically, I have two routines: One is a CDK collision check, and the other is a generic verification of an array. They're both inside the same Timer Event. There are two arrays - the collisionList and the MasterArray, and the object is in both of them.
First, the collision routine:
var collisions:Array = collisionList.checkCollisions();
for(var i:uint = 0; i < collisions.length; i++)
{ var firstShape:Sprite = collisions[i].object1;

As one would expect, Classes within my RSL can access the classes and methods of the embedded swcs. In other words, classes in my library can for instance call import org.alivepdf.Print and then call AlivePDF's Print.print() method. But it there any way for my project to also use those third-party classes and methods, by "tunnelling through" my RSL??? Even though my project is using my RSL, when I try to type out org.alivepdf.Print it cannot be found.(Obviously I can make a manager class in the library to "pass through" specific commands to the embedded swcs; I'm looking for something a little more generic and all-encompassing here).
View 0 RepliesLibrary symbol "Card" is linked to class "Card" which extends "MovieClip". Library symbol "Card" contains a card background image.Library symbol "Ace" is linked to class "Ace", which extends class "Card". Library symbol "Ace" contains a TextField with a big letter "A".So we have Ace extends Card which extends MovieClip. Ace therefore extends MovieClip, but does not DIRECTLY extend MovieClip.When I drop an instance of Ace on the stage and compile the clip, all that shows up is the big letter A. However, I expected the background image from Card to be included, since Ace extends Card, and the Card symbol contains the background.It seems like Flash ignores symbol content unless it belongs to the top-level class being instantiated.I think it's LAME that one symbol can't extend another. The IDE could easily draw Card as a non-editable background while I'm editing Ace which extends it, and it should instantiate Card's content and then Ace's content when an Ace is instantiated.
View 3 RepliesI've created a MovieClip that opens other MovieClips. These MovieClips are galleries with example of my art and such. Within these gallery MovieClips there is a "close" button, which is actually another MovieClip.
the problem
Everything works except that when I open one gallery, then close it, then open it a second time, the "close" button refuses to work.
I thought this was do to my incorrect use of removeChild, but now I don't know.
This is made slightly tougher by the fact that closing the gallery involves playing a closing animation, so first I put the removeChild on the last frame of the gallery MovieClip. That had the same result so then I tried it this way.[code]...
