ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove MovieClip Child Once It Leaves Stage
Sep 13, 2011
I am using the following code to generate a bullet (I have a bullet it the library linked Bullet):
ActionScript Code:
function createBullet (bulletSpeed:Number, startx:Number, starty:Number) {
var bullet:MovieClip = new Bullet();
bullet.x = startx;
[Code].....
upon the bullet.x getting to less that 50 it deletes the movieclip ok (other instances of the bullet are still onstage, which is what I want) but it gives the error:
ActionScript Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at Function/<anonymous>()

I'm getting no errors on this, Go (comeback) is my movie clip which should turn up when the mouse leaves the stage area and leave when the mouse enters the stage. I know it's probably my removeChild command but I don't know how to fix it.

I created movie clips that I want to add to the stage (from the library) by the use of buttons. I have a total of six buttons (and six moviclips) but I am trying to get the first two to work before I move on to the next buttons. The problem is I can't seem to remove the movie clip when another button is clicked, or the same button... Like I said I am new at this and I think a created a mess of things... I am getting error 2007 now
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
mix_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addbear);

I am trying to remove a swf that I import to the stage, but it is not working.
Code:
function btn_cima_3call(clickEvent:MouseEvent):void{
page = 5;
esconder();
content.gotoAndStop(page);
ld.load(new URLRequest("trabalhosV0.swf"));
ld.x = 0;
ld.y = 100;
addChild(ld);
}
So when 1 button is pressed this swf is imported to the stage. but im now trying to remove this when another button is pressed and it isnt working?
Code:
function btn1call(clickEvent:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(ld);
page = 1;
content.gotoAndStop(page);}

I'm trying to use a variable to remove a child from the stage and I get this error:
Scene 1, Layer 'action', Frame 108, Line 471067:
Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type
flash.display:DisplayObject.
What I'm trying to do is to link some keys to add movie clips to the stage. But I need to have only one movie clip at the time on the stage, so, if I press a key to add a movie clip on the stage, the one that is already there needs to be remove. So I set a variable called "actualConf" to hold witch movie clip is on the stage. I simplified the code a bit to add it here (If I press "Q", the movie clip "lise" is added to the stage, then if I press "W", I want the movie clip "lise" to be removed than "nancy" to appear), I added a comment where I get the error :
Code:
Select allstop();
var actualConf:String = "null";
var lise:mcLise;
var liseX:Number = 50
var liseY:Number = 50
[Code] .....
Because I will have about 15 keys linked to 15 possible movie clips, I don't want to use the "if" condition 15 times.

I have a movie clip on the stage with the instance name "ball". In my code, I addChild(ball) to a Ball object called "mainBall". After doing that, I want to remove "ball" from the stage. Finally, I add addChild(mainBall) to stage. The code takes place in my Document class:
var mainBall:MovieClip = new Ball()mainBall.addChild(ball)stage
.removeChild(ball)addChild(mainBall)
From the code, I get the error: "The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller".

I have a map with various regions as movieclips. When you mouse over a region, a sprite appears containing xml data. Among this data is a hyperlink. I want the sprite to stay on the stage until one of two
things happens:
- you mouseout of the sprite
- you go to a new region
That seems to be the problem. I've successfully coded the program to remove the child if you mouseout of the sprite. But if you go to a new region, it makes a new sprite and now you have two sprites with xml data on the stage! If I remove the child when you mouseout of the region, then the sprite won't stay on the stage for you to click the hyperlink. How can I make the sprite stay on the stage until:
- you mouseout of the sprite
- you mouseout of the region IF you aren't on the sprite

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.

I'm having a problem with removeChild(x) not completing purging the object. I run an if statement to see if the object is null before creating a new one, once I create it the first time it is never null even after I removeChild(x) so the if statement fails.Note: There aren't any external EventListeners in the shop to removethis seems like a simple fix and is driving me up a wall In the parent I start off with a placeholder:
Code:
public class main extends MovieClip

I've tried simply overwriting the function from the parent, to no avail - both of the listeners fire. I also tried removing the listener like this:
ActionScript Code:
with(st_mc)
{
this.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overFX);
[Code]....
Overwriting the function didn't work either. It made a fuss about it
If not, I'll have to go into each movieclip and remove the hand scribed code. Which will be a pretty big deal as there's at least 50.

Someone the other day provided me with this code to a remove a child from the main timeline from within a movieclip.
parent.removeChild(MovieClip(parent).mc1);
This works fine, but how can I write an if statement to test if its in the display list before removing it?
As I'm getting an error if I try to remove it once its already been removed.

I have created event listeners for a particular movieclip.Insidet this movieclip there is so many objects.When ever I click on the parent movieclip the event listener calls the function for the child object. I had tried removeEventLIstener()
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var info:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
info.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,0.35);

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.

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

I am getting a little fustrated with trying to remove a MovieClip from my stage after I am done with it. On loading my frame, I have a little bit of code in a function that creates a piechart.
var piechart:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(piechart);
//Then a bunch more to draw the pie chart
So that bit of code is NOT on my "Actions" layer. Now I have a button on this frame that navigates to a different frame in the timeline but when I change frames, the piechart remaines. So, how do I remove this piechart from the stage after I am done with it? I have tries stage.removeChild(...) and others but perhapse I am calling it wrong?

The normal procedure will be to call the parent to remove the child.
ActionScript Code:
stage.removeChild(temporary_movieclip);
or just
[Code].....
I am highly aware that this is a BAD practice in all logical sense, because the parent SHOULD be in charge of removing its childs because then it can set them to nil and remove all Event Listeners for the garbage collector.
Why iPhone ObjC allows that is beyond me.
Is there a way to get a movieclip to remove itself ?

I am developing a website with nav items that cover the whole stage from top to bottom (see altered image below) and it is pretty easy for the user to exit the stage with their mouse, not triggering the MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT events required to "turn off" said nav items.
Should I be using Event.MOUSE_LEAVE to detect when the mouse has left the stage, and turn off any enabled nav items? That is what I been trying to do, but have had trouble getting any output from my listener. Any ideas?
