When I click a button "boardButton" at frame 30 it will load my ext. swf pretty fine. But when I click my button "sponsorButton" at frame 50(I've more buttons) I need to remove the external file, but it won't happen. The trace of removing shows up but the ext. swf is still there...... I tried lots of things but no luck at all (two evenings spent already and no hair left)
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to get tables to display using flash. Currently I have two scenes, with a table on each scene. I have buttons that switch back and forth between the scenes and each table loads fine when I run each scene individually. The problem is I have no idea how to REMOVE a table from the scene. Currently when I play the whole movie the first table that loaded stays loaded, and the second table just loads over the top of it.
Also, I get an error #1009 after I switch back and forth from one scene to the other. So first table loads fine, click button, second table loads fine, click button, error #1009. I tried commenting out the table load parts on each scene and just leaving the button code and it worked fine. Then I left the first table load sequence commented out, and it loaded the second fine, click, loaded first page fine, click, loaded second table fine again (over the top), click, error #1009.

View 2 RepliesI have a main. fla with navigation btns activated by GoToFrame actions. Some btns load content and some use the UI loader component.
I have one btn that calls a UI loader "loaderVideoGallery" which loads an external .swf inside that .swf is an flv player "flvPlayer".
This also works fine except after that button is selected and that swf is on stage no matter what button you call next the video stream from the flv does not stop, it continues to play.
The UI loader removes itself as you can see the other loaders come up on button presses but the video's audio still plays.
the UI Loader instance is "loaderVideoGallery" and the .flv player inside the external .swf is flvPlayer
I was told to use
MovieClip(loaderVideoGallery.content).flvPlayer.st op()
I would think that the logical place to put this code would be inside the btns where the EventListeners are, is that correct?

I've loaded a swf into a MovieClip and I want it to be removed when I hit a button. My attempt to do so is like this:

Is there a way to remove a class linked to a movieclip? For instance, I've got a ball (e.g. ball0_mc) that's placed in a target. The way the ball is dragged and dropped into a target is by using a class called Ball. What I would like to do is remove the Ball class from ball0_mc once it's been placed in a target so that it can't be dragged or dropped anymore.

View 1 RepliesIt's a simple self-checkout grocery thing and I want to list the items the user is "buying" after typing in the appropriate code, but I can't get it to stay at nine lines only in the dynamic text field. I was told to use array.shift() to get rid of the first value in the two arrays so that I have an easy way by keeping the arrays at nine values, but it doesn't seem to work right.. It'll get rid of the first value, but only once and it'll add a blank value and then continue happily adding to the length of the array. Google has failed me so far so I suspect it's something else in my code.[code]
View 1 RepliesI am having issues with trying to insert a "mailto" link in a flash file. I can create the text no issue, but as soon as I add a link to the text it removed the "dot" and the @ symbol from the url and scrunches all the letter of the email address together, sometimes to the point where some of the letters aremissing. The first image shows the url on the stage, the second image is a test of the scene. It is very frustrating and I don't know how to fix it. I have deleted the entire line and redone it, but still no joy.

var ZombieInstanceTimerL:Timer = new Timer(8000,60);
ZombieInstanceTimerL.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, ZombieTimerLfunction);
ZombieInstanceTimerL.start();
[Code]....
Basicly im first setting a timer of 8 seconds for a zombie to sprawn then it sets the properties and then using the addChild method it adds the zombie every 8 seconds. then i made the zombie move but as if it hits the character i make it stop and go to the attacking scene which is frame 4 and then when it isnt hitting it, it goes back to frame 2 which is walking,, then i made a Zombie death code which works by in the zombie attack class it has hittests for all the weapons and it reduces a varible in a GlobalVaribles class the varible is called ZombieHP and here it says if ZombieHP is below 1 it should go to 3 which is the death scene and add a point to the score but the hp and gotoAndStop affects all of the zombies so when it hits one they all die how can i make it so only the one its hitting can be affected..
I found some AS2 code for creating a XML dynamic photo gallery, with thumbnails and big selected image. I extended that for more than one gallery, and all worked well except one thing: when I load a gallery with, for example, 6 photos and return to one with 2, the difference of 4 thumbnails of the first gallery remains, so the problem is that I don't know how to remove the mc instances that I've created with createEmptyMovieClip function. The code of the function that creates every thumbnail is:
function thumbnails_fn(k) { thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); tlistener = new Object(); tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) { target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k; target_mc.pictureValue = k; target_mc.onRelease = function() { p = this.pictureValue-1;
[code]....
k is the number of the image to create this thumbnail, and thumbnails[cat_actual][k] is the path that contains the thumbnail to show. I've tried to use the removeMovieClip(); function with thumbnail_mc but doesn't work.

View 5 RepliesAt some point I will have created a MC on the stage. Later on, I want to put a different on in its place. The original MC may, or may not, be there.So I need to first check and see if it is there, whack it if it is, then add my new one.I know the name of the variable I used to create the MC, but I think the problem is I did this from INSIDE another clip. When I am trying to find it and remove it, I am outside that clip, so I don't think the main timeline knows of that variable. So when I try:if(ribbonEGM) removeChild(ribbonEGM);[code]How can I test and remove the ribbonEGM clip from the main timeline?
View 9 Repliesi have a main .fla file which i shall call projectthing.fla for example purposes, and on one of the frames in projectthing.fla i an nesting a movie clip called "childgalleryholder" which currently resides in my library. within this "mychildgalleryholder" i am... importing?... an external .swf which is located in the same folder as my main projectthing.fla . The .swf that i speak of is called stack_gallery.swf and essentially the same file that im using can be found here. Now then, to pull said .swf into the holder movieclip i mention above i am using this code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;[code]....
Now then, this all works fine (well good enough anyway), BUT when it comes to changing frames, no matter what frame i switch to, the holder mc DOES NOT go away, or at least i assume its the holder mc the point is that the imported .swf stays on the screen and renders my project unusable until i close it then reload it and avoid that frame.So i decided to set up a button which uses this code to remove the holder from the stage:
ActionScript Code:
removePhotoSlideShow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onClickremovePhotoSlideShow);
function onClickremovePhotoSlideShow(evt:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(mychildgalleryholder);[code]....
It works fine and the thing goes away, BUT it leaves the photos in place for no apparent reason.

Basically, the "Gallery" section has an external SWF being loaded into it. I call it in by putting the following code onto Frame 1 of my actions layer...
ActionScript Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new
URLRequest("viewer.swf");
var myloader:Loader=new Loader ();
myloader.load(myrequest);
And I display it in the actually "Galley" stage by using this code on the content layer in the "gallery" frame...
ActionScript Code:
stage.addChild(myloader);
If I just leave it like this it loads fine and I don't get any errors.....but if you click on any of the other tabs the external swf overlaps what is in those parts.... so I tried to just use this code in those frames....
ActionScript Code:
stage.removeChild(myloader);
And it does make it so that it doesn't overlap anymore...but thats when I get that error mentioned above.... so basically I want to know how to remove the external SWF when going to another frame without it overlapping or giving me this error....
I'm creating a flash quiz that has drag-and-drop functionality. As part of this, I have 2 classes, one called Dragger and the other Dropper.
When Dragger is dragged above a Dropper, when I release the Dragger, it locks in place with the Dropper, and I set the value of the Dragger to the Dropper, using a setter function in the Dropper to update a value called _dropped.
So it looks like this in the main document class:
ActionScript Code:
public function dragKiller(e:MouseEvent):void {
// e is the MouseEvent associated with the Dragger
e.target.parent.stopDrag();
[Code].....
Now this is all mostly working fine for me. But what I want to do is say if I've previously dragged a Dragger onto a Dropper, and I remove that Dragger from the Dropper, and it returns to its home position (this currently works too). I want to remove that _dropped number reference from the Dropper.
When I initiated the _dropped variable in Dropper, I did it so there's no inital value, private var _dropped:Number; How do I remove that number value?
Currently, I'm passing a null here. Which is working, but throws a warning when I publish, and I have a feeling this is causing some bugs.
I don't want to set the _dropped value to zero, because my Dragger values are zero indexed, so I do have a Dragger with a value of zero, so that won't work.
I've tried using a negative number, but negative numbers aren't "Numbers" in AS3, which I need these to be.

ive attached a drop shadow filter to a mc.... but when i roll out of it i want to remove the filter effect.. ive searched livedocs and found document.removeFilter(), but i dont really understand how it works =( so here�s my code:
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;
var myDropFilterropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(35, 90, 0x9A9A9A, 5, 30, 30, 1, 50, false, false, false);
This function is added to several MC:S with a loop the result that it slows down everything
target_mc.onRollOver = function() {
var myFilters:Array = target_mc.filters;
myFilters.push(myDropFilter);
target_mc.filters = myFilters;
};
When i roll over it several times it just adds one more drop shadow object to the instance, but i suppose i can control that with some function, i will look into that next..
