ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing An Object Removes Its Instances Objects And Events?
Mar 7, 2011
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?

Is this at all possible? I just finished re-building my entire portfolio site in AS3 because I can't change the frame rate for loaded content in AS2. Now I find out after completely rebuilding this thing that AS2 content gets stuck in Flash Player 9's memory and won't erase on Loader.unload. All my work from years back is in AS2.

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.

So when I navigate out of this movieclip once the function home1 is fired, I get the following error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at home_fla::mc_content_13/follow() I know it is the function looking for that mouseThing_mc that is not there.

Does removeEventListener removes all objects inside it completely?or we need to seperately equate objects to null

With the following code, everything works as expected, and I retain both the default namespace, and the xsi namespace in the trace printout.
var tempData = <objects xmlns="http://www.spicefactory.org/parsley" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
</objects>

I have a removeChild and null question. I know removeChild removes my object from the stage but stays in memory until I call null on it. My question is, if I set the object to null, do I have to removeChild it at all? For example, I have a movieclip where I addChild lots of objects to it. So If I want to completely remove all traces of said movieclip and all its children, can I just set movieClip = null, or do I have to removeChild all its children and the movieclip itself beforehand.

I want to create a flash movie which firstly loads a selection of images/objects into a portion of the frame. After this is complete, the user can then drag these objects onto another area and the object will be created where the user has chosen. The user can then drag another instance of the ojects onto the area.
For example, there is a background of a lake in one area. A selection of boat pngs are loaded in an area below the lake. The user can drag these boats and place them on the lake. They can drag a boat multiple times if they wish.

In my application, I have a chart that I want to display in a TitleWindow when clicked on.
var win:TitleWindow = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, TitleWindow, false) as TitleWindow;
win.addChild(myChart);
PopUpManager.bringToFront(win);
It does indeed place the chart in the titlewindow that shows up, but it removes the original chart from the parent. Then, when the titlewindow is closed, my chart is simply gone. I can't figure out how to clone the chart -- all the methods I've tried failed
Solution:
public var barChart:BarChart;
public function onClick(e:Object):void
{

I've got these Flash students I TA for a course, and they are doing drag and drop exercises and have come across some weirdness.(They are using a frames based design to represent different pages of activity, with a menu to goto each frame under user control.)At author time:
1. they set up drag and drop as3 for an object on a particular frame.
2. when startDrag is initiated, they moved the dragged object to the top of the display list, so it appears to float above all other objects as the user drags.
at runtime,a problem appears:the object seems to have been pulled out of the frame, and now floats in a display list above any frame that may be advanced to.What's going on here? It's like the object got pulled off the authortime stage and now is disconnected. Going back to the drag and drop frame shows the original object again, reinstanced, along with this copy that got pulled out.

I have a flash file that counts and displays the number of images in a particular folder, that part appears to work fine. I require a reset button so that the alternate directory for the images can be tested as well. For this I need to delete all the instances of the loader I created for each image, but am unable to do so.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;

I have a sell function for my towers that when you select them and click the "Sell button" it removes the turret from the screen and stops it from firing. This all works fine.
But my problem comes when i have placed two of the same tower types on the screen at once. What happens is that it deletes everything and not just one tower like i want.
Ive thought about how i could do this and so far i have been unsuccessful in doing this.
deal with deleting a specific movie clip from the stage.
The code in question with dealing with making the Turrets is Below.
function makeTurret(xValue:int,yValue:int):void{
var turret:Turret = new Turret();
turret.x = xValue+12.5;

I have a MC called Enemy. It contains a monster that pops out at a random time (a timer with animation inside the MC). It stays on the stage for a few seconds and then hides again. If it hides, I want it to be removed and another enemy be added instead. All the monsters are instances of Enemy MC that are inside enemies[] array.[code]

I'm trying to do a simple image gallery with a previous and next button. I have it working nicely with a little crossfade, however I know that I need to remove old instances of my class after they are done being used - I just don't know how to do it. Especially because I want to wait until the top image/instance is fully faded in before deleting the one below it and what if someone clicks the next/previous button before the image is fully faded in?
Here is my main movie:
[AS]
function nextImage(evt:Event):void{
currentImage ++;
currentImage = (currentImage < imageTotal) ? currentImage : 0;
addImage();
}function prevImage(evt:Event):void{

After a little break in AS3 I'm back... and facing a problem. For a school project I'm trying to make a side scroller game in which the player automatically moves right and has to avoid branches.Basically, depending on how well you do your speed (var) gets updated. After certain 'distance' (fake of course, as the player stays centered) I would like a n instance of Branch_MC to appear. Also, when that instance's x property reaches -20 I would like it removed.I'd need approximately 135 branches so creating variables isn't really an option.

I'm not sure why it says that when I export the movie. I read that it may be because the actionscripts in the keyframe and not in the move, though that isnt the case here. Below is the code for my button.

getURL("JavaScript:liveChat();");

I was following a tutorial off a site to build my title menu. I followed everything to the T and the ActionScript 2.0 is giving me 2 of the same errors Mouse events are permitted only for button instances, on 2 of my layers. below is the action script2 code
1. invisible button layer
on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (1); }
2. ECHOTRAK BUTTON
stop (); on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (2); }
my question is how do i make my button for my drop down menu work. an instance is a label correct if so were does it exist in this code. I believe its telling me I'm missing my frame labels to be included somewhere in this code the site i used was on this site

I want to make a movieclip invisible initially but i dont want to set it manually within the properties in flash because i cant then see it on the scene.i could add some code like so:
MC Frame one.
this.onClipEvent(load)
{
this._alpha = 0;
}
but I cannot. How can i set the MC _alpha to 0 for all instances without adding it manually to each instance or setting it in the properties?
edit: or creating a class for it just to set the alpha.

I'm trying to put the text back into a text field on FOCUS_OUT one character at a time. On FOCUS_IN, I want to remove the text one character at a time.
Here's the basic code:
major.text = "ActionScript 3.0";
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, inFocus);
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, outFocus);
function inFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="";// want to clear the text one character at a time
} function outFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="ActionScript 3.0"; // want to put the text back in one character at a time
}
I attached a fla. that does this in ActionScript 2.0, but I'm trying to do this in ActionScript 3.0.

I have a button that is called to the stage using AS. When the user releases that button, a global variable is populated and the pageShell movie clip is removed and re-attached using the new variable info. When I run the movie, I get the following in the output panel: **Error** Mouse events are permitted only for button instances on (release:<name>){ I'm not sure why this is happening because the symbol being used (<idname>) is a button.

i am having a problem removing objects from the stage and their associated arrays. basically when a "shark" is added to stage i want all "cans" to be removed and i dont want any "cans" to be added until the shark has left.my problem comes as i dont want to keep using for loops as i already have two or three for "cans" alone and i heard thats not good for the code!
Code:
var canTimer:Timer=new Timer(2000);
canTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addCan);
canTimer.start();
[code]....
im not 100% sure were to put this in my code-i didnt really want to put it in a function of it's own as it would mean using another for loop?i get a output error when a shark is added like this:
Quote:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/contains()
at dolphinmoviegame_fla::MainTimeline/canHitTest()
even though all "cans" are removed.

I have a utility function:
function removeFromArray(item:Object, arr:Array):Object {
for(var i:uint = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if(item == arr
[Code]....
This function searches through an array and sees if an item exists in it, if it does, it removes it and returns a reference to that item.
This works fine for most things. But I just ran into a problem where I need to remove an array from an array.
so my array looks like this [ [item1a, item1b], [item2a, item2b] ]; and i need to remove [item1a, item1b] from it. But passing in the the array to remove and the full array to remove it from does not work because i guess of the casting to an object in the parameters list. Can the functionality i want be used? if so how?

i realize there are better ways of accomplishing this, but i'm learning and therefore only interested in why the above code doesn't work.
