ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove Event From Btn Within Movie Clips?
Apr 19, 2011
I have a btn on the main stage and when moused over, it will play an mc (window_mc) which opens up a toggle window. The window_mc includes 3 layers; 1 the animation of the toggle window, 2 the AS of the window and 3 the content inside the toggle window.
The content (layer 3) is another mc (countdown_mc). Within that mc I have an animation and the next frame holds an flv, which plays after the animation.
My question is in relation to the main btn on the main stage that pulls the toggle window open (window_mc) when moused over. I have it set to where it only opens and closes when the mouse is rolled onto the button or off it. The window will open and close accordingly.
When the content in the window gets to the flv within the countdown_mc, I do not want the rollover action to work anymore. (I have an exit btn on the window that will close everything out if clicked).
I know I probably need a removeEventListener action, but I am not sure how to write it if the addEventListener is linked to my btn on the mainstage and I want it removed within the countdown_mc which is inside the window_mc.[code]...

Flash version: CS4
AS Version: AS2
FLA and XML attached.
This is my first time posting. I am trying to learn actionscript and normally like to discover my own solutions but after working on this for days with no solution I am ready to pull my hair out.
Here's the deal. My FLA loads and XML file and from the XML data dynamically creates two categories of buttons, Modules and Steps.
Each module may have a different number of steps. When a module button is clicked it should display the correct number of steps buttons. That works fine except when a module has less steps that the previously displayed module. When that is the case it will always display the greater number of steps. In other words it is Attaching movies correctly with no problem but I can't figure out how to create a looping structure to remove them. I've tried every goofy thing I can think of. It must be something using removeMovieClip but I'm at a loss.
Here is my current code:

I have this code in my Flash file[code]...
I'm wondering, when I remove the movie clips should I also be popping them from the array?
I have an onEnterFrame function that attaches the movie clips and pushes them into the array, so I'm worried that if I don't pop them the array will continue to increase in size and slow down the movie. Is this the case, or will they be automatically removed from the array by the removeMovieClip() method above?

Does anyone know how to set up like a movie clip listener or some sort. I have several buttons on the screen and if I click a button I want whatever movie clip is on the page to be removed and load the new one according to which button is pressed. Right now in order to remove a movie clip you have to click the same button twice to remove it but I want to be able to click any button and remove the move clip and load the correct one. I'm @ a lost to setting this up.

I've attached a small example of what I'm doing. The finished project will have a main menu with buttons to 6 pages with 6 maps on each, and 4 other pages.
1.) I've attached movie clips (map graphics) on frame 5 accessable with buttons on frame 1. But when you go to the maps (frame 5) and roll-over them, and use the BACK button to return to the main menu (frame 1) the maps are still there.
2.) In looking for a solution to this I've read that even if I make the maps not visible they are still there, and will add to the size of the file if they are loaded over and over again. I'm thinking I may have done this all wrong and when the project is complete it's going to be a big mess. How can I simplify it?

I am currently doing a project for an A level computing assignment, and as i havent used flash much before, im not brilliant.
I have assigned the movie clip 'Star' to the stage multiple times, using the same depth each time. Everything works peachy until I click 'Reset' where the stars all stay on the screen.

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'm working on a small project in which I need to drag and drop some movie clips on a target. There are 7-8 mvcs, I tried following code so that I can use the event handlers. But it is not working. I tried to search and found generally the event listeners are used with mvcloaders. May I know if, we can use event handlers with mvcs ?[code]...

I've built a carousel that moves a set amount with button presses, and when the movement stops the item at the front of the carousel enlarges and becomes a button. However, when the carousel is moved to the next item, the previous still stays behaves like a button. Is there any way to remove the event handler from the movieclip?

Is it possible to create an event listener that will listen for an objects (movieclip in my case) x position ? I know i could create an Enter_Frame listener with an if statement but the problem is the mc in question has multiple instances being called and I want to destroy each one as they leave the stage.

I am wondering how to correctly reference child/parent movie clips when creating event handlers? I have a button within a movie clip, which is within a movie clip.This is what my handler looks like right now:
this.DropMenus.DMSeats.ButtonSeats.addEventListener("click",SeatsOver) ;
The button instance name is ButtonSeats Problem is, I get this:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Also, if I were to move the vent listener directly into the movie clip where the button is located, how could I reference the parent/ parent timeline(the main timeline)? Am I correct to understand that .this refers only to the current clip?

Anyway, I am just trying to figure out movie clips as buttons, and have been following along on however, I seem to be doing these things right, but when i test my movie, the button just loops regardless of rollovers or stop actions.You can check this addressto see the failed anim, and you should be able to import it as well. Here is my coding:
function rollover (e:EVENT){ myBtn.gotoAndPlay ("in");}
myBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rollover);
function rollout (e:EVENT){ myBtn.gotoAndPlay ("out");}

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}

As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.

I have a "large" movie clip and "small" movie inside a "large" movie clip but on it's let's say upper right corner:
Code:
largeMc.addChild(smallMc);[
If i try to catch Mouse.DOWN events on them the following way:
Code:
largeMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, largeClicked);
smallMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, smallClicked);
Then of course both event are captured no matter where i click.Is it possible to capture independent mouse clicks on both of these two movie clips and if so, how can i do that?

Here's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.
What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):
