ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Object With Delete Button?
Feb 2, 2010
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.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at SendLove/deleteListener()
Here is the code that i just wrote for the delete button. I will attach the entire AS3 file as well.
ActionScript Code:
create.delete_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, deleteListener);
private function deleteListener(event:MouseEvent):void {
I got these four errors when I tried to create a button on the stage that would delete the text I inputted in the inputtext(ti). Based on the scripts I have and the errors, what should I write to create the delete button?
look at my attachment and you will see that it creates 10 little pieces of ammo. When u click on the background it should delete one of those movie clips. But it deletes 2 of them. the code for creating is on the first layer and the deleting is on the background button symbol(click on the background to find it if you don't know what im talking about). create code
When I use MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT the target is [object MovieClip], but when I use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT I get [object Bildspel] - and Bildspel is my class. The thing is that when I use ROLL_OUT I'm not able to delete the targets ENTER_FRAME event.
I have a contextMenuItem on an object that I want to use to delete the object. The object being deleted will not have an ID so how can I remove this object from the stage?
I've read many many articles and I've asked others if the can help, but I'm stumped. The functionality I'm looking for apparently works in CS5 of as3, but it's not working in my cs4 version of as3.
This is what I'm trying to do. I've created a first person shooter game. I have bullets come out of a gun and hit the bad guys. When the bad guys are hit, I want to do the following -
1. make the bad guy and bullet invisible - done, works.
2. remove all references to both the bad guy object and bullet object - done, seems to work.
3. delete the bad guy object and the bullet object from the stage - doesn't work, can't seem to figure out why not.[code]...
All of the bullets are of the "Bullet" class and are stored in an array called "bullets" in the main class. When bullets exit the screen, removeBullet(bulletID) in the main class is called.
private function removeBullet(id:int) { removeChild(bullets[id]); bullets.splice(id); }
In my Bullet class I have an enterFrame listener that traces "stillHere". So as soon as a bullet is added to the main stage using addChild, "stillHere" starts popping up in my output panel.
My problem is that even after I call the removeBullet, "stillHere" keeps popping up in the output panel, which tells me that the object which I tried to delete is still sticking around somewhere in the memory.
Flash gives access to query-string parameters via calling loaderInfo.parameters() method.And I couldn't delete the field on the object. IS it possible to delete some fields in the object? how can I do this?
"you cannot delete variables that are declared within a function with the var statement".Which, as it happens, is precisely what I was trying to doI want to delete the object because it holds a bunch variables that are no longer needed, to prevent potential speed/memory issues later on.it's impossible (probably with reason) and I know vars are local to a function, so now I'm wondering if it is actually necessary to remove local variables
Flash will automatically remove the objects that you added onto the stage when the frame changes, but leaves all the objects created by actionscript. cleaning them up/removing from stage when the frame changes?

Is there a quicker way besides iterating thru all entries in the associative array Related to - How do I delete a value from an Object-based associative array in Flex 3?
I have created a delete button and have linked it to a text box along with another button that displays "1" in the text box when clicked. I need a button that will then delete this "1" out of the text box when clicked.
I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st' 2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before
its strange but one time this code works in a few minutes suddenly i get error #2032. I am just start to learn AC3 and obviously doing something wrong.and explain me?
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); ?
I'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 have an object called helpDialog that has a sub-object called "closeX"- You click the X and the helpDialog closes. But I'm a little stuck. Let's say I add a new helpDialog to the stage:
Code: addChild(new helpDialog()); and let's say that closeX has the following class definition:
So basicaly the object is removing it self from the parent object,but I still think that it exisits in memory and doing its backend job.How can I remove it completely from memory?
I am having some problem removing a null object and I realise that I have not been unloading my swf's properly. Could someone take a look at what I have been doing and tell me what I can do to make it better. I am putting my website in an exhibiton of my design work and if it lagged up due to all the clicking it would suck! so its important.
Code: aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutLoad); function aboutLoad(e:MouseEvent):void { ldr.unload();[code]....
I have some radio buttons that are all created dynamically and range from maybe 1-4 or more. Is there a way when I click submit button I can wipe out all of those buttons?
I have a line that is being drawn following a route when a play button is pushed. At the end of the movieclip the whole route is shown with the beginning and end. How do I clear that line if the user hits play again? Right now it connects the beginning and ending points and creates another line on top of the old one.
I works with Flex 4.5 and I like to create a custom dropdownlist. Indeed, I'd like to show in each line on my dropdownlist a label and a delete button. The goal is to delete the line on click to delete button. This look like simple, but I don't found how to do that.
