I am attempting to make a game, and i've got objects on the stage, which are from one particular class (Joint1), and i would like to remove those movieclips when you press the spacebar, how can i do that, without having to name and define all the movieclips in the script?
View 3 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is this: use the AS3 computeSpectrum method to trigger movieclips, one for each frequency band of the spectrum. Ideally, I'd like the movieclips to be placed on the stage using onEnterFrame or something, and then tweened (scaleX & scaleY) when its frequency band is triggered. does what I want, but this class uses the fillRect method to draw white squares when the frequency bands are triggered. I'm trying to replace the fillRect method with movieclips...So far, I've managed to add a movieclip to the stage from within that BeatDetector class (SoundBeat.as), but cannot get it to go away, it just keeps adding and adding and adding!Tried removeChild(myMovieClip), this.removeChild(...), this.parent.removeChild(...), but none work. I'm missing something really simple here, aren't I?Here's the code for SoundBeat.as:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Bitmap;

how do I completely remove a movieclip that is created as a new class.I have an event listener that does a removeChild like this
e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
is this enough or do I have to 'null' the object? I can't just do 'e.target = null' because the property is read only. Will the internal garbage collection do the rest for me if I have no references somewhere else?
I'm making a game for children where they have to pay money by dragging it on a square.

From my experience, if i don't destroy for example event listeners from my VideoPlayer class and just remove VideoPlayer class the way described they still get fired with null exception messages etc. This is something that's bugging me for a while so i would really like to know what's best thing to do here?

View 2 RepliesI want to create a movieclip class that subclasses another movieclip class and inherits all its properties (rather than having to rely on the include statement). In my project I'm using:An abstract parent class that extends a movieClip: "infantryDroid".[code]However everytime I try this, flash acts as though nothing was imported from the parent movieclip class.If I was to try the above code I would get the message that _root and speed (which were defined in the parent class) "are undefined".

View 9 RepliesI have a mc that i use as a button. I have an external class that controls the button and adds interactivity to it, here's part of the code:
[Code]...
The problem is, i want the btn that, when clicked, remain inactive.That's why I remove all the listeners in the class. HOWEVER, it still functions as a button, I mean the functions haven't been removed at all after I click it. What's wrong here? Why are the functions still there, if I have removed them when clicked at the btn?
I am using a component in my application, but it turns out, it's slowing my app down big time b/c it doesnt remove an eventListener on stage for mouse move. Is there a way I can remove this listener?

View 15 Repliesi have two classes:

If I have a Document class that extends MovieClip, and I want to use it as the basis for another Document class, is it possible to create a subclass that extends the main document class and use that for a different FLA?
For example,
fla1.fla has a document class of MyMainClass:
public class MyMainClass extends MovieClip
fla2.fla has a document class of MySubClass:
public class MySubClass extends MyMainClass
I've tried, but now I'm getting errors that all of my variables that reference stage instances aren't being found.
Ok, this is one of those walls that I know once I can jump over it, I will be a much happier developer again.
I've done tons of reading, and think I have a firm understanding that the general consensus is that if you want to reference something, it needs to be added to the display list, using addChild().
I hate to be defiant, but what if I don't want to?
Or at the very least, what if I want to add a movieclip class to the stage using addChild, and then reference objects inside it?
It is much easier this way than what most people recommend - adding 15 objects via addChild, then setting the x and y for the, etc.
That said, I'm all about using classes and using as3 the way it was meant to be used. So what this is, is a best practices question I guess.
HERE ARE THE STEPS I'M TRYING:
- Create new flash document
- Draw graphic symbol bg, with text field over it, select them, convert to movieclip symbol, and export class name "box", then delete it from stage
- Add document class .as file, which simply adds that class "box" from the library, to the display list using a simple addChild()
- Set a name for that box using box.name = "test" let's say
- Do a simple trace like the following - "getChildByName('test').textFieldName" - it shows up great
- So then, I'll now try to set the text by doing this - getChildByName('test').textFieldName.text = "yo";
That last line above, is what doesn't work. I know I'm referencing wrong, but how would a pro as3 developer, reference something on the stage within a movieclip class, from the document class?
And i cant figure it out.the "my.fla.class"content looks like this
Code:
package my_fla

Is there a way I can reference a Movie clip I have on the main stage from a custom class of a document class?[code]
View 1 RepliesOn 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 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.
