How do I remove child from a different Timeline. One of my movieclip contains three children. I want to remove all the three children. How could I do that. I tried setting instance name and removing the instances using getChildByName. But it doesn't seem to work.
Code:
var mainMc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(mainMc);
var box:box_mc;

remove child from the timeline. I have attached this sample file. I get "1120: Access of undefined property board." error when I publish it.Here is what I'm doing:
Open button: This will create a child with movieclip
show_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showBoard);
function showBoard(event:MouseEvent):void{
var board:Board = new Board();[code]..........
Here is the Error I get when I publish it: 1120: Access of undefined property board.
Someone the other day provided me with this code to a remove a child from the main timeline from within a movieclip.
parent.removeChild(MovieClip(parent).mc1);
This works fine, but how can I write an if statement to test if its in the display list before removing it?
As I'm getting an error if I try to remove it once its already been removed.
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.

Why does a child movieclip only show the first frame within the IDE, regardless of where you are in the parent timeline?If you throw a movieclip with 25 frames onto the main timeline, which also has 25 frame, you don't see the nested movieclip's frame-progress while you scroll through the main timeline.Is there a setting somewhere in preferences or somewhere that will enable you to see a nested movieclip's frame position from the main timeline? Like you do with After Effects composites?

-btn01.useHandCursor = false;
-btn02.useHandCursor = false;
In another layer I have the buttons, but they do not appear in every frame.I noticed that I need to use the "uhc" in the same frame number of the buttons.This way I can`t specify a function to all the buttons in just one frame!
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]...

View 5 RepliesI have 3 mc's (clip1, clip2, clip3) and 5 buttons on the stage. When i press button 1 clip1 should go to _y = 100, clip2 _y = -1100, and clip3 _y = -500! The same should happen when one of the other buttons is pressed (with different y values though) My question is can i put the different y values in an Array, and if so how do i do so and how do I call them?
