The top half of the code works fine (the addChild parts...) however when i added the code for the bottom... the Child would never appear... and i added trace statements but i can't figure it out... the menu comes back false and the controller does change to 5

function menucontrol() {

i'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.

how to remove all child of a movieclip if no of child are not known
View 2 Repliesso I have a movieclip on the stage(lets call that selection movieclip) that once a button is clicked is going to open another movieclip(call this slideshow) I am trying to remove the selection movieclip when you launch the slideshow movieclip.
[Code]...
this 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,
Here's the class
[Code]....
when i do this it does remove the child BUT i get the old "The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller." business. How would i do this properly?????
I have swing application in which there is MS excel like functionality. User can enter data in the columns. Most of the columns are drop down lists, so use have to select from the list. Can this functionality be easily built in Adobe Flex or GWT? Second complexity is depending upon what value is selected in a column, another column should show only those items which are related to selected value of first column. Its not country city data but for simplicity I am taking this example.
For example, first column is country and the second column is city. So depending upon what country is selected the second column will show only cities under that country. Its not just two drop down list on a page, its dropdowns of a row in a grid strructure. Is this possible in Adobe Flex or GWT or anyother web UI framework apart from Swing?
As the title suggests, what is the runtime complexity (eg, big-O) of the Sprite.contains method?
View 2 RepliesI'm building fairly simple item renderers, in fact, here's the code for one of them...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
implements="mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer"
[Code].....
It's a really simple renderer that has an image and some text sitting next to it, or just the text if no image is in that item's data provider. There is also some basic rollover, rollout and click functionality...
So my question: Why is it that if my list needs to scroll it gets messed up? By "messed up" I mean that the text changes from being to the right of the image (when image is present) to moving over top of the image, as if it isn't realizing that the image is there. There's also sometimes an issue of the item renderer shrinking down so there is no longer anything even visible in the box (just some black with a grey border on the bottom about 5 - 10 pixels big...
I'm wondering if maybe my item renderer is too complex? I'm having the same issue with text working like that in another renderer, but no images, just text placed in certain positions (as well as some strage blue tints showing up at the top or bottom depending on how I am scrolling)
By the way... here is the MXML where I am initializing my list...
Code:
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" id="list">
<mx:List
width="100%"

does anyone knows the "time complexity" of Dictionary class methods ? for example, is the ""get"" is an o(1) time complexity ?
[Code]...
and another question in the same topic, how does the Dictionary "generate" an 'equal function' & 'hashcode' (assuming same implementation as in java's HashMap) from the object passed as a key? is it efficient ?
flash and am trying to create a vending machine game but I seem to have come unstuck. The coin_slot that I have added doesn't seem to remove from the stage after frame3. 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.

none of it worked, It's just a minor cleanup really. Whenever you click a new picture you can see all the ones underneath it during the load so I just want to clear out those items or rather clear the loader before it loads something new.
I have a missile which gets fired once the mouse button is down. The main class snippet is:
ActionScript Code:
public function moveTheBullet(event:Event):void
{
if(buttonDown)
[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)
[code]....
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]...

Could tools like SWFAddress be used in some clever ways to alleviate an existing client-server architecture. I see possibilities to even introduce REST-like pattern mapping or something like that.
What I am currently doing is following all the Cairngorm guidleines, which has already led to a bunch of commands which all make sense, but inclusing the business delegates, and all that stuff, I am getting into a hard time extending and refactoring the application Anyway, what I thought of was somehow reducing the number of application events flying around, and the number of commands responding to them. Actualy, I am quite OK even coupling the view with some logic, if I can get rd of some layer complexity.
What I mean by that: perhaps, I could bind a button click to a url pattern (or use SWFaddress to change the url globally). On the other end, I wll be waiting for changes of the url, reformat it, and pass it onto a service delegate, which has the necessary mappings in mind, so it knows what method to call, or it could even pass the url directly to an HTTPSErvice. The delegate will then deal with the server response, and update the model, which through the bindings will update the view.
I am not going to completely ditch commands. I thing that they are good for scheduling of the internal interactions (within the client itself), but I'd like to abstain from using them for communication with the server.
Today I came across this question and I now have a sudden urge to find & complete similar challenges for ActionScript 3.Are there any resources specifically targeting AS3 which offer a level of complexity similar to the above? It'd be great to start really pushing the limits of my ActionScript skills.
View 3 RepliesI have the following function to add movie clips to the stage...I assume it is the correct way to add movieclips to the stage becuase it works.
function attachMovieClips(){for (var i=0; i<list_array.length; i++){var mySelectFile:selectFile = new selectFile();mySelectFile.name = "mySelectFile"+i;mySelectFile.y = (mySelectFile.height + 10)*i;addChild(mySelectFile);}}
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...

Does anyone know the actionscript 3.0 parameters in removing the child within a movieclip? This is my scenario:
1. I have two (2) languages which play on the main timeline. Each languages are movieclips.
2. I have a movieclip which has buttons. These buttons are added dynamically using "stage.addChild(main_menu)"
3. I have a go back button together with the main timeline. How can remove a child on a timeline? For example when I choose the language A: it will play through by a movieclip and the buttons will be added dynamically [the dynamically added buttons are inside this movieclip; also the AS3 is inside that movieclip]. I wanted to remove the added child when the go back button is pressed and return to certain frame on the main timeline. The go back button is not included in the said movieclip--it is within the same timeline of languages and I wanted the script to be on the main timeline.
I have a context menu item that is suppose to delete the child that was right-clicked. How would I target the right-clicked child?
