ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Multiple Children From Container Mc?

Oct 5, 2009

I am having trouble determining where to add my removeChild() statement to clear multiple movieClips from a container mc. I know I need to determine if the container movieclip contains anything. I don't know how or what I should put and where to put it. If I can determine if my container mc has movies in it, I am assuming I can just declare it again (i.e

PHP Code:
panel= new MovieClip();
)to clear it. Am I correct?

Flex :: Moving Children Of A Container (defined In MXML) Inside An "inner Container"

Jan 27, 2010

I'm currently working on a custom component which extends Canvas (let's call it SuperCanvas) ; it's basically a container that let you zoom & pan its contents. It would be too long to explain why, but I can't use scrollRect, so I was forced to declare a Canvas object (called innerCanvas)... inside my SuperCanvas (I know, not very nice =/) I would like to know if there's a proper way to "redirect" the creation of my component's children in this canvas.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove All Children From Container

Oct 2, 2008

Well I'm starting to really enjoy AS3, my next question then is this: In AS2 I'd often remove all movieclips with something like this:
PHP Code:
for(var i: String in container) {
container[i].removeMovieClip();
}
Is there something similar in AS3 that I can do without resorting to maintaining an array of references to each child of my container?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Limiting A Container To A Certain Number Of Children?

Feb 9, 2009

At one point in my script I'd like to check a MC for the number of children and limit this number to 3. For that I use this script:

Code:
if (container.numChildren > 3){
for (i = container.numChildren; i > 3; i--){
container.removeChild(container.getChildAt(i-1));
popError('Horizontal nur 3 Elemente!');
}
}

This somehow works fine if there are 4 or 5 children in the MovieClip, but as soon as there are 6 or more, it throws an Argument Error #2025 and does not remove anything. BTW it does not make difference if I use container.removeChildAt(i-1);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Children Using RemoveChild

Apr 25, 2010

I am using a loader to load an asset to the stage from a class, the image is called "1.jpg". Using a timer event, after a certain amount of time that image is to be replaced with image "2.jpg", then after some time it is replaced with "3.jpg". etc.The way I set it up is using a series of if statements inside the timer function. At timer count 10, I first remove the child from the stage and then load the new image.[code]
However the removeChild(my_loader) does not work, it gives an error saying that it cannot be null

Flex :: Listen For Dispatched Events From Container Children?

Oct 5, 2010

I'm using an accordion container that has it's creation policy set to auto. One of the accordion's children is a spark border container that has a data grid within it. Currently, I'm using the data grid's creationComplete property to call a function; similarly, I'm using the dragComplete property to call another function.

How can I add listeners for events (creationComplete & dragComplete) via actionscript? The obvious problem is that the accordion does not create all its children on creation (nor do I want it to), so I can't simply use something like: datagrid.addEventListener(...)

Flex - Container's Clipped Children Not Visible On Scrolling?

Mar 30, 2011

I have a VBox inside a Canvas. The 'red bars' are custom components based on 'Canvas'. All red bars are of equal height. I have 20 red bars inside the VBox. The scrollbars visible in the screenshot are the Canvas's scrollbars. The scrollbars of the VBox are disabled using verticalScrollPolicy = off.

Without scrolling, only 16 red bars (and a part of the 17th bar) are visible. However, when I scroll down the Canvas I expect to see the remaining red bars - but the bars that are not visible when the application starts don't get 'drawn'. What am I doing wrong? I want the user to be able to see the 17th - 20th bars when the Canvas is scrolled down.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Children Based On Location?

Mar 11, 2010

Question 1Whats a good example of removing objects from stage that aren't within the stages boundries. I first tryed using a transparent box and hittesting. then i realized that you cannot hittest an object that isn't on stage, to check if needs added. so i came up with this.

Code:
for (nn=-1; nn<2;++nn){
if (this.hu1.room+nn>=0 && this.hu1.room+nn<this.walls.ar.length){
for each (n in this.walls.ar[hu1.room+nn].ar){[code]....

That way it only adds the object if its not currently on the display list or am i better off just giving all objects an onscreen:Boolean variable?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Coding Hierarchy And Removing Children?

Jan 20, 2010

To give a brief background of what's going on here.I am building a personal site where I have a navigation, and I have other subnavs inside of certain pages.Such as if I go to "work" inside of work i have "motion", "web" & "print".Here is some example code of one button on the navigation:

nav_mc.personalbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick2);
function buttonClick2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("personal");[code]...

It seems to me that actionscript will not read all the way down to the bottom when looking for objects.For example: The first if statement where it's asking if workss_mc exists or not, that will work if it's at the top, but if I move it down to the bottom it will not work.

Actionscript 3 :: Removing Parent Memory Used By All The Children?

Sep 17, 2010

I'm making a rather large flash project and so I'm concerned about memory usage. At the end of each section of the application I remove the overarching parent element that holds the content. Although this remove the parent, does this also free up the memory for each of the children contained within this, or should I run an iteration to remove those prior to removing the parent?

I'll give a little more explanation in-case I'm not expressing what I want:

addChild(movie1);
movie1.addChild(movie2);
movie1.addChild(movie3);
By using this code:
removeChild(movie1);

Does it remove movie2 and movie3 from memory or are they still stored, just unlinked?
