ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove TextFields From MovieClip?

Sep 24, 2009

I have a search, and it returns an xml file (built by php), then I parse the xml to get the data.

That I get to work fine, the part I am having problems with is removing the old search data and adding the new.

Here is what I do:

1. get the xml file

2. remove any TextField currently in my "Library" MovieClip

3. add the new returned searched results

I am having issues with step number 2, removing TextFields from my MovieClip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A New Movieclip For Each Top-level XML Node And Include In The Movieclip Two Separate Textfields?

Jun 4, 2009

My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicate MovieClip - Existing TextFields Not Visible

Jan 14, 2009

Within my code, I have a series of movie clips that are dynamic text fields created with the createTextField call. The text field is dragged and dropped onto a box. At that point I want to create a duplicate of that text field and to then position it on top of the box. The code appears to be creating a duplicate of the original clip and the traces are all successful, however, the actual movie clip is not displayed anywhere on screen. I feel that it has something to do with the depth. Originally, I was passing this.getNewHighestDepth to duplicateMovieClip but that seemed to result in my existing text fields disappearing instead!

Code:
function fnTagOnRelease(){
this.stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
if (eval(this._droptarget) != mc_DropBox){
//spring back to original position

Flash :: Change A Movieclips Textfields From Within The Movieclip Class?

Dec 23, 2011

I have a movieclip in my library named mcLeaderboarditem. I've generated a class for it to manage the textfields.

The easiest way is to make a child of the class and manage the contents properties with the dot-syntax like this (documentclass):

var leaderItem:mcLeaderboardItem = new mcLeaderboardItem();
leaderItem.lblRank.text = "2nd";
addChild(leaderItem);

[Code]....

Probably it will be something stupid because of tiredness. Or is there an other way to do what i'm trying to do?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Variables In Textfields Inside A Movieclip?

Feb 9, 2012

This issue is my constant pain, and has set my project back some time. I'm creating a message system for my game, it's supposed to record events that happened during travel, 3 vars per message (topic, in game date, content)All the vars are in an external as file and a public class. The problem is they return blank in the mc's textfields while displaying correctly on the main timeline textfields at the same time. This is the code sitting inside the mc that doesn't work.

Code:
import Variables;
var variables:Variables = new Variables();
function setMsgSlot (e:Event) {[code]....

on the main timeline, even in the same frame, works perfectly, and i can't figure out why.

Professional :: Visibility, Order And Position Of Dynamic Textfields Inside Movieclip?

Dec 16, 2010

this concerns flash cs5 and the timeline.Everybody knows the effect you get when you use appendText() to add text to a multiline dynamic textfield, right ? Well, I have a movieClip as a container, and I would like dynamic textfields to populate this movieclip in the same manner as textStrings would populate the dynamic Textfield. 
 
How would this work?I have buttons that trigger addChild() function so as to populate the movieclip with textfields, but how do I make sure that the textfields make up an arbitrary list as a menu user chooses which buttons to click?
Let's say this is the visible text when the swf runs.(I cut away some of the code to make this more to the point):
 
var buttonTrace:TextField=new TextField;
addChild(TextClip.buttonTrace); buttonTrace.x=0;
buttonTrace.y=0;
buttonTrace.text="Breadcrumbs";
 
Now for each time I click a button in the menu I've made, a new textfield appears with the name of the button. This is how I want it. BUT......... How do I control the display properties and positioning of dynamic textfields within a movieclip ? How do I control persistent visibility, and how do I make these textfields appear one after the other in the order they were clicked.

Remove MovieClip From Stage?

Apr 19, 2010

On the click of a button I am having a movie clip load onto the stage from the library using the _root.attachMovieClip command and that part of my code is working perfectly.I have a close button embeded into the movieclip being loaded in but I am unable to get it to remove the movieclip from the stage when the close button is clicked. The close button has to be inside the loading movie clip so it doesn't interfere with other items on the stage which is why i'm not using _visible to show and hide the menu.

I've tried everything, unloadMovie, removeMovieClip with various varations (I've checked the references and the variables are well defined), the movieclip will just not go away!Inside this MovieClip there are several other movieclips with associated classes and objects spawned from there, does this matter?Does anyone have any idea about why is it so difficult to just remove a MovieClip?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove MovieClip If It's There? Else, Do Nothing?

Nov 30, 2009

I am having issues with removing movieclips if they are there. My game involves collecting items, but when the time runs out, those items need to disappear so that when the person wants to play again, they don't reappear. I am able to do this with "removeChild". However, if the object has already been collected, and the "removeChild" command has been executed, the code chokes up and the game can't proceed.This is a modified version of Gregory Athons RPG game. All credit for code goes to him.

//when timer is complete, do this stuff

ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Remove The MovieClip

Aug 22, 2007

I wrote a small game in AS 2.

You just have to shoot at some alien ships. All works fine but I want to add one thing though.

I want to make the gun disappear if it hits any of the alien ships.

I tried to include a hitTest on the mcGun.onEnterFrame event and to remove it from there but I get an error ( not in the output window): when I shoot a bullet the gun disappears...I just can't understand why

Here's the code for the game:

Code:

/*****declare variables and instances ******/
var gunSpeed:Number = 5;
var bulletCount:Number = 1;
var bulletSpeed:Number = 10;

[Code]....

I wanted to check with the above highlighted code whether the gun hits any of the alien ships. And if it does, the gun should disappear from the stage.

From what I've read I cannot remove the gun because it's a timeline placed movieclip ( its depth is less than 0 ) so it cannot be removed dynamically. Correct me here if I'm wrong though I don't think so.

I tried another approach ( since I'm not familiar with swapDepth---i've just started with ActionScript ). I tried to make the gun become not visible if it hits any of the alien ships. But I get the same error. If I shoot a bullet and that bullet hits a ship the gun becomes invisible but keep in mind that the gun has not yet hit any of the ships.

Professional :: Remove Child Within A Movieclip

May 26, 2011

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.
