ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove Loaders From Stage With RemoveChild
Apr 15, 2010
I have a parent swf that loads in 6 little swfs. However, I have a button which should remove the loaders from the stage, no matter which one it is from the 6. At the moment I can only remove one of them because of the way I have coded the application. So, when I click on the button which is supposed to remove whatever loader is currently sitting on top of my parent movie, it only removes one of the loaders - the one which is named first under my resetAssets function.
I can not have:
removeChild(ldr);
removeChild(ldr2);
removeChild(ldr3);
etc.
Because only one of them is being displayed at the time and flash goes like "hey dude! where are the others you want me to remove then!?" I suppose the whole code has been built up poorly and I should loop the swfs through one loader instead of having a loader for each swf.. Then I could just remove the loader no matter what sits in there..?
Code:
//imports
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("load_XML.swf");
[Code] .....

So, I have a file where I've added 27 movie clips to the stage using a for loop to cycle through items in an XML document. Here's the pertinent part of the code I'm using, it's AS3:
So, I end up with 27 instances of mini_mc, each named 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
I'm trying to write code to remove them at a certain point in the movie but having problems. Here's what I'm using[code]...

I'm currently working on a script which depending on various factors will add different movie clips to the stage. When the factors change so do the movie clips. I know that I can use removeChild(myMC); 100 times and wipe the stage, so I was thinking it would be possible to add all the movie clips to an array and use removeChild(myArray); to get rid of them but I'm coming up with the compiler error: Code: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject. so obviously I'm missing something. Is this even possible? is there a more effective way to remove Movie Clips from the stage?

I have a movieclip, let's call it MC1. Inside the actions timeline of MC1, I create a loader and when a button in MC1 is clicked, the loader is added to the stage with an image.
On my maintimeline, you can click a button to bring a second movieclip onto the stage, let's call it MC2. MC2 has the same set up as MC1 where you click a button within MC2 and it adds its own loader with an image to the stage.
The problem is, when I click on MC2, MC1's loader is still on the stage, and I'm having trouble getting rid of it! I tried removeChild(loaderfromMC1) within the actions panel of MC2 but it can't reference variables created in MC1? and I tried removeChild(loaderfromMC1) when the button on the maintimeline is clicked, but it seems that I still cannot reference the MC1 defined variable.

I have 4 movies that need to be loaded in sequence. The first movie loads the second one, the second one loads the third, then the third one loads the fourth. What I can't figure out is how to make sure there's only one movie loaded at any time. I've tried removeChildAt(0) and other methods. What's the best way to load a movie to the stage and wipe out what was on the stage?

i am trying to remove this movie clip when i want to play another one, i can navigate to the other movie clips but the sound that is embedded in my .swf files will not turn off off, since i have sound in several .swf files when i play more than 1 .swf movie the sound from the files will overlap each other, i have tried removeChild to no avail/This is the code i am using inside my loader timeline:
var myLoader2:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader2);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/longsfinal.swf");
myLoader2.load(url);

My code below loads my preloader dynamically before an image is loaded into the file and when it finishes I want to remove my preloader by the removeChild(); method. Whenever I try to add removeChild(); in my code my file either does not work or I get an error #2025 must be a child of the caller. Where would my code go for the removeChild to work and not have a conflict. I know I probably need some removeEventListeners as well at the bottom: My .fla file is attached it works but I just need to remove the preloader in my code after it loads my image.[code]

I'm using this AS to load multiple external images into mc instances on a stage, using different loaders.[code] The external images always load from the upper left corner down, how can you make the image load from the center of the instance on stage?I found this code below and doubt it will work for me since I have 5 mc instances on different parts of the stage, so the stage wouldnt be a good reference point.[code]

If you dynamically create a parent movieclip, and dynamically add a color picker to each clip, and add an event listener for each color picker, does a removeChild on the parent movieClip remove event listeners belonging to any of it's children?

I'm not even sure if the title reflects what I want to do. Here's backstory. I have a movieclip with 5 'holder' movieclips in them. They are my containers for dynamically added movieclips. The parent containers has an instance name of pyramid, the holder instance names are labeled after the 6 food groups, i.e., 'grainholder', 'fruitholder', 'vegetableholder', etc etc...The holders are within the pyramid container, instance names as above, and the pyramid container is added to the display list. I have a addFoodToPyramid() function which adds 'foodMC' mc's to their respective holders. So an [object Apple] will be dynamically added by way of pyramid.fruitholder.addChild(Apple). The function also adds a listener. Heres the call and the function:The call (I will use grains as example) is this:
addFoodToPyramid(grainArray, grainHolder, grainCounter);
And the function is:
function addFoodToPyramid(thisArray:Array, thisHolder:MovieClip, thisCounter:Number):void

I'd like to remove objects via removeChild after Tweenlite has finished tweening. But it doesn't really work because my objects are still in the DisplayList.
Code:
//TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0, onComplete:removeChild, onCompleteParams:[sndText]});//does not really work; still in DisplayList
TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0});
TweenLite.to(musicText, .5, {alpha:0});
TweenLite.to(sndSlider, .5, {alpha:0});

Will this line
clip.removeChild(clip.getChildAt(0));
completely remove the child of clip at 0 index? I read somewhere you should set to null to all the references to that clip, but I have no other reference in my code. The clip at 0 was added via a regular addChild().

I have a website with a homepage in which I have a movieclip called "menutopmc" which, as the name says, is a menu on top of the stage and it is an MC as instance. Inside this mc I have 5other mcs and each of them works as button.On the stage I have an other mc called "website" in which I load the several pages of the website.Here is some code to understand better what I'm doing:code on the main stage where I automatically load an swf when the website loads:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var websiteRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("azienda.swf");
[code]...
and here is the code I have inside the mc menutopmc in order to change the child previously loaded on the stage:
ActionScript Code:
function btn_content(eventObject:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).website.removeChild(websiteLoader);
[code]...
Now, the new addChild in the function btn_content works and it loads the new child on stage but the removeChild doesn't work and this is the error I get:
1120: Access of undefined property websiteLoader.

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{

I have several objects created at frame 2 of my fla file, like:
Code:
stop();
var rotatorek:Rotator = new Rotator();
addChild(rotatorek);
var rpm:engine = new engine();
addChild(rpm);
etc...
After endGame is changed to true within one of my .as files, I got this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at Rotator_fla::MainTimeline/ruszMaszyna()[Rotator_fla.MainTimeline::frame2:94]
Frame 94 is first removeChild(rotatorek).
Why I can't remove all those children? I need to go to frame 1 without any instanced objects and cleared listeners.

I 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'm working on a project which uses timline animation. The animated objects are involved in a collision detection script.
When they collide with other objects, their timelines are told to stop() and they're removed using removeChild. At this point they have a value of null (I've tested this.)
Strangely however, they invisibly re-instantiat themselves when the timeline animation loops back to frame 1. There's no code telling them to play anywhere in the program. They still have null values, but their collsion code still affects other objects.

If I removeChild an object from the stage can it still be detected by a hittest? I have objects that are tweening off the stage and if they hit other objects they stop their tween i use removeChild to remove objects that I don't want a hittest to occur on which is the nature of my question.

I have a removeChild and null question. I know removeChild removes my object from the stage but stays in memory until I call null on it. My question is, if I set the object to null, do I have to removeChild it at all? For example, I have a movieclip where I addChild lots of objects to it. So If I want to completely remove all traces of said movieclip and all its children, can I just set movieClip = null, or do I have to removeChild all its children and the movieclip itself beforehand.
