I have been through many threads and none have helped. I am trying to remove a child if it exists. I am clicking on the button and sometimes there is no other child loaded. I want some code that looks to see if a child is loaded and then if so unloads. There are going to be at lease 5 possible .swf files loaded. [code]

I'd like to remove a child of the display list if it exists before adding another to the stage. This gives me Error the first time I call it because 'myMC' doesn't exist.
HTML Code:

I have a slideshow that you can click to go to various frames with different images. I'm doing this with a loader. Problem is, once you click on a button and the image loads, the image stays there when you go to a different frame and different image. I've tried removing the child at the beginning of a new frame, but that doesn't seem kosher. I know this code is not the cleanest it could be, but bear with me.
View 2 RepliesThis is something I would think would be easy, but here's my dilemma: I am trying to see if a textfield exists on the stage and if it does, I want to remove it. I am trying to do it using the code below, but if the textfield doesn't exist I get an error because I'm tring to remove something that isn't there.
if (stage.contains(cctextBox)) {
removeChild(cctextBox);

My page has 2 tab menus. When the page first loads, it defaults to the first tab, but when the second tab is hit, an image is loaded to the stage. I want to remove the image from the stage once the first tab is hit again.I keep getting the error "Access of undefined property Image1" but the whole point is to check if this child exists with the if statement.
//Tab 1
if (Image1 != undefined) {
stage.removeChild(Image1);

I have an event driven flash program. I need to be able to call removeChild() if and only if an object is a child. getChildByName() and most other functions don't seem to allow for this and if you call removeChild() on an object that isn't a child it will throw an error. I suppose an option may be to catch the thrown error and just ignore it, but that seems like a bad solution.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to check if a MC is on the screen but it says: 1120: Access of undefined property newBullet.
The code that is giving the error is in engine.as
Code:
if(stage.getChildByName(newBullet)) {newBullet.y = gtip.y;
newBullet.x = gtip.x;
}
gtip is an instance name of a movie clip that is in the character when it gets loaded.Here is the code from the files;

I m making a basic menu effect. Normally I would animate all this in flash on the timeline but im trying to learn as much as i can about coding. I was actually impressed that i was able to create just this simple animation, but i want to write a conditional that lets me see if a child exists on the stage, if so remove it, if not run a function. Heres where I am so far.[code]as you can see the hardware text drops down and comes in from the top but stays on screen when you mouse out.basically what i want to do in my hardwareOut function is to run a conditional to see if topText exists, if so remove it and if not then gotoAndPlay().
View 4 RepliesIs their a way to check if an event listener already exists to remove it? stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickdownfunction); Basically, I want to remove the listener, but sometimes it has already been removed, so I want to check if it exists and if it does, then remove it.
View 4 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.

this is the script i am using

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

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 am a high school student who has an assignment to develop a Flash Video. My goal is to make a really cool Flash Video by downloading a Youtube video of paintballers and then converting their images to a line drawing and then animating the line drawing. Well the problem is that after I've imported the FLV into Flash CS5 I find it impossible to edit out an internal chunk of the video. Every time I try to remove a chunk of the video, it ONLY DELETES A SECTION FROM THE END OF THE VIDEO!
Now, it should be a simple process, select the chunk, Edit->Timeline->Remove Frames
It seems so obvious that I don't mean to delete the END of the video, I mean to delete the highlighted section. What's the point of highlighting a section if you're just going to delete "X" amount of frames on the end? Shouldn't this feature be called, "Delete frames from end of video"?
I have a need to add an object to the display list at a specified frame number. Something equivalent to addChildAtFrame(mc, 100).
I know I could achieved this by creating a layer within the fla, making a new frame at the desired location, and placing a blank movieclip within the frame in order to have a target displayObject to addChild to but I would prefer to do this via code.
Is there anyway to accomplish this dynamically?
I have no clue on how to reference to different childs in a movieclip on different frames. Let me explain the situation:
I have a movieclip containing different views of a car distributed on frames. On these frames there are targets that must respond when clicked (the position of the targets vary from a frame to another) I can only reference to targets on the first frame.
ex: Movieclip.target1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLIC K, showPart)
how can I communicate to the targets on the other frames of my Movieclip ?
can i remove code all frames one click
View 2 RepliesBefore I started armaturing, I added 200 frames, but I only needed 67.. Now I cannot remove the frames in front of the armatured layer! I can't delete, and if I push it backwards it all just compromises and goes really quick. I cannot move poses, nor can I cut/copy them.
View 1 Repliesflash 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.

View 2 RepliesI have this function[code]...
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]...
