1. How to remove rec_mc after the tween is completed?
2. How to insert a period of time in between two states?
ActionScript Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
changeRectangle();
removeRectangle();
function changeRectangle():void{
TweenLite.to(rec_mc, 5, {tint:0xFF0000, alpha:1, x:150});
} function removeRectangle():void{
removeChild(rec_mc);
}
I'm trying to use the BitmapData.draw() method on a sprite which I create through my own external class, but all I was getting was white. Finally figured out that it was taking a half a second or so for the sprite to pop up on the stage, and the draw method was apparently "pixelizing" it before it was drawn.
So my question is, how does one know when a non-loaded object is "ready"? Do I need to add my own event sent from the end of the external constructor code? I don't want to modify the class just to snap a picture of it. Waiting an arbitrary amount of time with a timer seems wasteful too.
Code: Select allvar bc:BarChart = new BarChart(500, 300);
addChild(bc);}
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500, 300);

I am working in an Articulate program that is flash based. I don't get much control over the way parts of it function, so I have added a lot of extras to it via flash movies I inserted.
There is one thing I am trying to figure out. I want to add an object that tells the LMS to mark the course complete. I don't need it to check if the score has been submitted or anything like that, by the time a student gets to this object, the test should be done. I just need a flash movie object I guess with the script that writes the completed status to the LMS.
i'm trying to remove a tween object after it has complete so the memory can be freed by garbage collection.in this example i'm passing the fadeIn function a UILoader object that is cast as a sprite so that it fades in when it is finished loading. when the tween finishes animating, i want to remove the tween object. i've included the compiler errors as comments.
function fadeIn(e:Sprite):void
{
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(e, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0.0, 1.0, 0.2, true);

I am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.
I'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline).
Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA();
var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB();
objectA.addChild(objectB);
addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?
Is there a way to return the target of a Tween object from within the object?
Code:
myTween.onMotionFinished = function (){
trace (this.target)
}
That's obviously not the way you do it, but that's what I want it to be...
I was thinking if there was a way to remove the shared object pop up from popping up lol?Its because Im making a game where when the player saves the pop up comes up over a 100 times and it's really frustrating, so I was thinking if you could remove the pop up entirely by using actionscript?I've found a script that shows the popup:System.showSettings(1);So is there a way to reverse this script? like System.hideSettings(1); ?
View 1 RepliesI've made a little movie that reads items from an XML document and when you click on a thumbnail it adds the details and the price to a list and totals the amount. The problem I'm having is when you want to remove an item; I want to make it so that the items all shift up and there isn't a gap in there but at the moment they're overlapping sometimes when you remove something from the middle of the list.I'm not really sure where the problem lies because I've been staring at this for a few days now nothing's coming to me. It's probably in the below area, I think it's going haywire when the array gets remade but the num property of the remove button doesn't get updated.[code]I've attached all of the relevant files if anyone wants to take a look at it in action. Also, I know some of the code might seem a bit strange (like reading the XML in a loop and then pushing that into a different array) but there is a reason for it, I've stripped that part of the application out though.

I am having some problem removing a null object and I realise that I have not been unloading my swf's properly.

I have an item that I want to appear on stage (see code below); but only for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds I want the object to disappear. I know that I can use removeChild to remove the object, but I don't know how to keep the object on the stage for a specific amount of time.
Here's the code:

I have written this little script, as i want to remove some of the text fields that are currently contained within the Display Objec, however it does not like to see the TextField as a varaible name. How would i convert the object from an array to become a textfield that can be removed, after being added through
addChild()
This is the script
var delayHeading:Number = 1500;var repeatHeading:int = 1;var setShow:Timer = new Timer(delayHeading, repeatHeading);setShow.start();setShow.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, maybeLater);

I have a problem in ActionScript 3 with a project where I am to output a bunch of data in a diagram and as pure text. This is not the problem, though. The problem is that when the user changes the type of data he wants shown. I would then remove the currently shown columns in the diagram, and add new ones. But my code removes ALL columns, so that there is no diagram at all!
I've done it all in Flash CS5, and the columns are instances of an object I made (a rectangle) which I just add to the stage. All the instances are added to the container "container." When I want to remove them, and add new ones I use:
var container = new Sprite(); // The container for my diagram
function emptyContainer() {
if (container.numChildren > 0) {
[Code]...
I wonder where to place my function for removing all children, to remove just those children that were added earlier. To matter where I place the function (at the start of fChange, at the beginning of each case) there is NO diagram shown, either new or old.
I have an application that uses a main class to control other MovieClips, adding and removing them as needed, most of them are separate screens or sub menus.
When I leave the main menu and come back to it later from another screen, certain animations and roll over buttons still play, which I don't want, I basically need the main menu screen to reset every time it is seen.
I read up on this and found out that removing the child doesn't necessarily remove it from the memory.
I tried setting the mainmenu to null before moving onto a different screen but this threw up an error, stating that the parameter child must be none null.
how to completely kill my mainmenu when it is not needed.
public function confSubMenuOneScreen():void {
subMenuOneScreen = new SubMenuOne();
mainmenu = null;
[Code].....
This is the example of code that removes the menu and adds another screen, with the mainmenu = null code that throws up the error.
I have problem closing or removing a netstream object. the object is created in a class I wrote. that class is added to a sprite object. when I remove the sprite which the netstream is a child of the netstream still plays. I know I can use close() to close the netstream but the problem is that the object that removes the sprite does not know that there is a netstream object in the sprite.

I have created a delete button, and when the user clicks it.. I want it to delete the selected movie clip. I have created a variable selecteddrawing to store whatever movie clip is currently selected.
when i call the event listener, and tried removeChild(selecteddrawing) it gives me this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I have a rounded rectangle that the x and y values will always stay the same. However it rotates around and it's height is increased (it follows moving targets). (Think of it as a turret that shoots out a beam of light that will always be anchored to the turret on one end but it gets longer and rotates so that it constantly tracks the moving targets) I want to remove the object when it moves off the screen.
Normally I would just do this with:
(if myObject.x >= 550){
removeChild(myObject);
}
and the same for each other direction of the screen. However, as mentioned, it's not the x and y values that are changing - it's the height that's changing.
Now I've tried just swapping out 'x' for height:
(if myObject.height>= 550){
removeChild(myObject);
}
etc. for the rest.
But the problem with that is that if my turret (the anchor point for beam of light) is closer to the edge of the screen (i.e. it's x is 500), then it will take a couple of second's for the light beam's height to reach 550.
I want to make a button with the function, adding and removing display objects. I have a button named solutions. I wrote the basic code for adding the external swf file and test the movie. When I click the button at first time, it loads the external swf file. However, when I click the button at 2nd time, it runs the external swf file again. I can't figure out how to write the code to tell the button not to load the file again when the file is already loaded.

View 2 RepliesI have a 2-dimensional array of Objects. Their location in the array determines where they appear on the screen. When I want to move an object down, I am trying something like this:
[AS]LocationArray[i][j+1] = LocationArray[i][j];
LocationArray[i][j] = null;[/AS]Of course, with the way AS3 handles objects and references, it removes the object completely. How can I simply move a reference (or remove an reference) without destroying the object?
To remove a dynamic displayObject completely you need removeChild or removeChildAt(index) remove all the refrences to the displayObject nulling the displayObject
But this is my case

//here recto is a MovieClip on stage//i creat a dynamic display Object named newMcvar newMc:MovieClip =new MovieClip();newMc.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,1);newMc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,10,10);newMc.graphics.endFill();recto.addChildAt(newMc,1);//i refrence the newMc using

I believe that it is refrencing newMc but I am not sure why nulling refrenceMc has effect on newMc

Im attempting to create a class which cleans all the mess it's done by itself. If i make some instances of this class in an external class, i want the base class remove itself, or in other words, if i linkage this class to any movieclip, i want to remove this movieclip not in the file I created it in, but rather would like it to automatically remove itself if i want it to. I don't know if it's even possible. A simple removeChild(this) isnt working.

Im creating a game. When the current game has finished, I thinking to do this:
removeChild(game)
game = null
then
game = new Game()
Doing this way, it automatically removes the games object instances? It automatically removes the games object instances events? That would be an easy way to restart the game, if yes for both questions.
Can I do like that, or I have to remove all objects and events manually?
