vector of characterItems with type item -compares the item passed in with that of the item in the characters items and removes it if the item matches - is this code adding or will it remove? and I don't like the number(item), 1 it seems wrong to me.
public function disposeItem(itemUsed:String):Boolean
item = itemUsed
for (var i:int = 0; i < characterItem.length; i++)

While trying to pass objects back and forth between two arrays, I discovered a problem (after a long time of debugging). Here's the simplified code with the last line being the problem
Code:

var two_arr:Array = [];
var temp_obj = {
test: 'value'

have an missileContainer array on the main timeline which I use to store the missile info in for collision detection. I use a for loop go to through the array every frame and check if it's hitting an asteroid. Everything there works fine, but in the missile's class I have a destroy function which removes the missile if it goes beyond the stage boundaries. However, I need to splice it from the missileContainer array on the main timeline, too. But I can't seem to access the missileContainer array from the class no matter what I try.

I have overcome a problem, but my solution seems really inefficient and clunky. Please consider this problem:
I have an array collection with articles in.
This array collection is filtered to a currently selected article category.
There is a cursor bound to a view that shows the current article. When a category is deleted I need to delete orphened articles, I can't use the cursor or collection without affecting the views as they are bound.

I'm not talking about removing a child by simply using the removeChild(); method, but a more complicated (I think) way. For example, If a add a 'box' MovieClip with addChild, and I have a 'close' button inside the 'box' MovieClip, I want the 'box' MovieClip to disapear when I press the 'close' button. I tried
Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

I am working on trying to collect data within an array (which works) and this data is collected when a button is pressed or selected. I also want the ability to remove an item from the array if the button is pressed again. Currently, I have these buttons dynamically generated and everything works well. The buttons have ids applied to them. SO what I am trying to get working is, if I select button 0, 2, 3 (0 indexing), the data array created holds [A., C., D.]. I want to remove A. after I click button 0. Instead, it seems to cause problems. What I am doing wrong with splicing??? trace statement:
A. items so far selected
selected items are: 0
A.,C. items so far selected

View 1 RepliesSo I am still pretty new to AS3 and I am trying to put together a site. I have most of the functions working properly except one and this is the issue. I have a main SWF and inside this SWF i have a button, that when clicked, loads a image gallery SWF. The problem I am having is inside that gallery swf is a close button and when i click the close button to remove the swf, it doesnt work. I have looked through several forums without success. Does anyone know how to remove or close out a SWF with in a SWF? here is the code I am currently using in the gallery swf to close it out.[code]...

> a preloader loads my main menu , on the main timeline of my preloader.swf I create a new loader (loader1) and tell it load the URLRequest "menu.swf"

I want cast.swf to replace menu.swf and remove it entirely but I cant figure out how to do it,here is what I have tried inside the click function of menu.swf(is this possible? can you write code to remove an swf if you are actually inside that swf's main timeline? )
removeChildAt(0); ( this only removes the bottom layer of the menu.swf)
removeChild(MovieClip(root).loader1); inside the click function ( this does not remove the menu.swf )

Let's say I have a global SoundChannel object, and inside a function I am repeatedly creating new instances of the Sound object to play songs one after the other. Each time I do this, I need to add a new eventListener to the SoundChannel to call the function 'onSoundComplete' that will load the next song on completion.Coming from a strict C++ programming background, I often wonder if it's necessary to do some kind of cleanup in Flash, or if it handles it automagically.Here's example code that specifically removes the eventListener from the previous Sound object everytime a new one is created, but I don't want to be doing this if it isn't necessary:
Code:
// Setup sound object buffer
var slc:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(3000);

I was trying to integrate two game flash files that I created, by combining them into one file (on one timeline), but was having issues with making my timer stop. As the lesser of two evils (or so I thought) I decided to load one of the games into the other file on a particular button click as an external .swf. This solved the timing issue, but now I don't know how to get rid of the .swf once im done playing it and ready to move on with the original game! I need some buttoncode (AS2) to remove .swf on button click.
Button code to load .swf looks like this...
on (release){
LoadMovieNum("racing_part1_me.swf",2)
_level2.gotoAndPlay(25);
if (_level2.variable=="yes") {
_level2.play();
}}

I have included colour to the the event triggers to allow me to see what is happening at the moment the coin_slot image that I add does seem to remove from the stae but there still seems to be something hidden within the stage. This is still in really rough stage of development I just need to figure out the code at the moment.
View 3 RepliesI have a site that I am working on and I want to add a gallery behind a password. So far I have the password working and the gallery loads but the gallery loads on top of the swf where you input the password. I want that "password" swf to be removed when the new gallery is loaded. I tried to find some code for this but I can't get it to work so I commented it out. I have pasted the code in that swf below.
I am pasting the link. The gallery in question is behind the "Wholesale button" So click on "Wholesale" and then the password is "TEST"
