I've used this site as a resource leading up to this, not particularly sure if I worded this correctly I have a class "Block" which is just a square (will be something else later on in the process) I want each block to have controls to add an additional block in either direction so I have another class BlockButtons which has my buttons for each direction.
And another class GlobalVar where I keep all my variables for funsies

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.

I 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.

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'm trying to call a child from an xml to perform a function, which is seperate from the functions of all the other children. this is merely a test in learning as3 and i'm using this gallery as an example.
At the moment, I'm trying to call the second thumbnail of the gallery to react differently to the other thumbnails when clicked. So there is the "onClick" mouseevent for all thumbnails, but "onClick2" for just "thumb2".[code]...

In my program, I have multiple children of the same movie clip. Each movie clip has a text field inside it which shows data relating to that movie clip. However, I need some way to update that data at run time to reflect changes that may be taking place. My problem comes to, how am I supposed to target that specific child of this movie clip since there are around 40 of them on the stage at the same time?

I am wondering how to remove a specific element from a vector.[code]...
So from the code example above I was using Element.pop() but thats wrong -I think -as it removes the LAST element. I need to remove the element at the location of the match.

I am loaded images into a container that is being displayed on a map. I've created a string of my images names and am looping a loader to load each image and add them to the container.
var overlays=["compsmall.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall4.png"]
var overlay_container:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
function calloverlays():void
[Code]....
Once all of my images are loaded into the container overaly_container how can I call on a specific child of the container? For example how can I call on compsmall2.png once its been loaded into overlay_container?
I place these images onto a map by placing the whole container at the correct location. I then turn layers on/off by adding and removing the children within the container. This is why I'd like to specify a specific object in the parent.

I am creating a game in which bubbles with simple math equations are falling from the top of the screen, and you have to enter in the answer to make the specific bubble disappear. The only problem is that I need a system that can delete the bubble(s) corresponding to the answer. I'm using an Actions-Frame code and a mathBubble AS class. I will show the frame code first.
stop();
var cooldown:int = 200;
var cooldownMax:int = 200;
inputAnswer.restrict = "^A-Za-z";
[Code].....
Reading the code is not completely necessary, I was just wondering if anybody could explain how I could use arrays to remove every child with the same answer as the randomized answer each child contains through variables "mathAnswer" and "mathAnswerString"

var dialogueBox = new DialogueBox();
this.parent.addChild(dialogueBox);
this.parent.dialogueBox.gotoAndStop("dialogue_info _01");

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.

I 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]...

I'm trying to remove an eventlistener on (in this specific case) a HorizontalList. The list is initialized with the property itemRollOver="playPreview(event)" I'd like to remove this eventListener by switching state and stating something like: <mx:SetEventHandler target="{horList}" name="itemRollOver" handlerFunction="null" />
This doesn't seem to work. The event is still handled and playPreview(event:ListEvent) is still called. How to properly do this? (I know I can do it in Actionscript, but I specifically want to do it by means of state switching)
