ActionScript 3.0 :: Stage RemoveChild (Target) Not Working As Expected
Nov 7, 2009
I'm new to AS3 and have been making a Snake game. I've come up with a problem with the code (Yes, I have magically created problems trying to program Snake...It's going to be a long day). My problem is, with removeChild...I'm getting strange errors being throw at me. Not only that, but my Movieclip (myFood) is not being removed entirely, only the visuals of it are.
That being said, here is, what I believe to be, the most important chunk of code for this problem, along with the error it gives me.
Code:
/*
* Code for the Snake and whatnot extras.
* Also, Snake and Food are classes.
*/
var myFood:Food = new Food();
stage.addChild(myFood);
function snakeEatFood() {

I am developing a simple galaga clone for my site, its at [URL] . You will notice the controls work fine in firefox, opera, safari, chrome, etc. However, in IE, the controls are only triggered if the mouse cursor is hovering directly over the player ship.
The playership object is created in the main document class which passes a reference to the stage to the playership class.
private var ourShip:playerShip = new playerShip(stage, ourHUD);
Which is then added to the stage from within the document class (gameMain)
stage.addChild(ourShip);
The playership class then monitors the mouseX and reacts accordingly. The code for the ship controls which are linked to the enter_frame eventhandler is
Code:
public function controlShip(e:Event):void {
var a1 = stageRef.mouseY - e.target.y;
var b1 = stageRef.mouseX - e.target.x;
var radians1 = Math.atan2(a1,b1);

I have created a flash gallery using the in built template in Flash8, which works fine. The gallery forms part of my gallery page of a separate SWF flash site. I load the gallery using a loder component. Since the gallery navigation works by targeting the root folder, my site gets screwed up. The question is, how do i modify the ActionScript in the gallery.fla file (flash inbuilt template), so that once loaded into the main site, it doesnt target the root timeline, but targets its own timeline i.e.Please see below for the code in the Flash Gallery. PS: I didnt write the code - its inbuilt into the template:
function updateFrame (inc) { // send slides to new frame newFrame = _level1._currentFrame + inc; _level1.gotoAndStop(newFrame);
updateStatus();

I just cannot understand why mouseEnabledWhereTransparent does not work on this skin. The Skin this creates is basically a Button with a transparent background and a little triangle to the left side, like so: >ButtonText But the empty space around the Triangle does not receive mouse events. I've tried wrapping another group around the triangle path and I've tried wrapping it into a Graphic Object, also without success. I could create a Rect with 0 alpha below everything, but isn't that exactly what mouseEnabledWhereTransparent should be doing?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="[URL]" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:fb="[URL]" minWidth="21" minHeight="21" alpha.disabled="0.5" mouseEnabledWhereTransparent="true">

Would anyone know why using graphics.clear(); in this example is preventing the graphics from being drawn?
e.g. the following code works and the lines are drawn.
var my_shape:Shape = new Shape();
my_shape.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x00FF00, 1);
addChild(my_shape);
[Code]....
I'm wanting to animate the line moving so would like to clear the previous drawing before redrawing the lines.

I've got some try/catch statements in an XML parser I've written that don't seem to be doing what I want them to be doing.
The code:
ActionScript Code:
try
{[code]........
The problems:
-In the case the type is analysis or info (with other tags being alright) the "Default Text" is staying blank, even without a text tag.
-If I purposely malform the option tag, no alert window shows up and none of the other properties in the catch block (optionText,selType, etc.) get set properly

In the following code, I create 12 buttons, label them, and control their onRollOver,onRollOut, and onRelease actions. Everything is working fine except for the line containing the "slideTo" method. Reading from the two arrays for the x and y values, it appears to be inserting the largest number in each array instead of stepping through all 12 values. Currently, clicking on any of the buttons moves the object (ralphMC) to x=100 and y=800. I am pretty stumped about this, as I've inserted quite a few various numbers into each array during testing. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?slideTo is part of the mcTween package, in case anyone wanted to know. code follows:
Code:
//Creates an array of numbers that will evenly space the buttons out vertically
var mcPosY:Array = new Array();

I've followed this tutorial and made a functional photo gallery.
Now, I want to add that photo gallery on my site. I've created a flash button and assigned it this action:
Code:
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("Pictures.swf");
}
"contents" is the container movie clip, and "Pictures.swf" is photo gallery i've made. Now, when i click on button, Pictures.swf does load (arrows are being shown), but when i click on them, nothing happens.

I have a component that contains 4 layers: (in ascending depth order) bgImage:Sprite, dropZone:Sprite, dropMask:Sprite and line:Sprite. The bgImage is at 0,0, and the other objects are placed at various positive coordinates. dropMask is masking dropZone.At the point of bitmap capture I want to only draw from the dropZone and dropMask layers, so I'm trying this:
removeChild(bgImage);
removeChild(line);
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(dropMask.width,dropMask.height,true,0);
bmd.draw(this,null,null,null,dropMask.getBounds(this));
Despite the dropMask being located at 50,60 the capture always starts from 0,0. I've also tried getting the boundary rectangle and forcing the x,y, but it makes no difference. should I just forget clipRect and use a matrix instead?

I have 4 movies that need to be loaded in sequence. The first movie loads the second one, the second one loads the third, then the third one loads the fourth. What I can't figure out is how to make sure there's only one movie loaded at any time. I've tried removeChildAt(0) and other methods. What's the best way to load a movie to the stage and wipe out what was on the stage?

I'm working on a pretty simple flash application which basically plays a music clip downloaded from a web URL, and makes a stick man dance. I have it all working fine, however, I've used the addChild function on the start button to add the mc onto the stage, however, when I applied the removeChild function to take it off again, I get an error telling me that it hasn't got a caller.Here's the script:[code]I've had my tutor look at it, and she can't work it out either, but I do get the feeling that she's not much wiser on Flash than I am.

I'd like to remove objects via removeChild after Tweenlite has finished tweening. But it doesn't really work because my objects are still in the DisplayList. I can't figure out the problem so I would be very happy if someone could help me out with this problem.
Code:
//TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0, onComplete:removeChild, onCompleteParams:[sndText]});//does not really work; still in DisplayList
TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0});
TweenLite.to(musicText, .5, {alpha:0});

I'm working on a simple presentation website in flash that imports swf-banners onto the main page. This works, but I need a backgroundcolor and a border so the banners aren't seethrough. So I create another graphic element that puts itself underneath. All this works, but when I try to write a button to remove the "child" it only removes the imported swf (loader) but it can't remove the box underneath - even if I remove the loader-child completely. I get a "1120: Access of undefined property Kant." error
CODE for buttons & loading the swf:
stop();var Xpos:Number=10;var Ypos:Number=230;var swf:MovieClip;var loader:Loader = new Loader();

I am trying to remove a movieclip from my main timeline but it is not working. you click a button that is in a movieclip that is dynamically added to the stage and it is supposed to remove a movieclip from the main stage. I added a trace to see if it was grabbing the right movieclip and it is. The error message that I am getting is:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have a website with a homepage in which I have a movieclip called "menutopmc" which, as the name says, is a menu on top of the stage and it is an MC as instance. Inside this mc I have 5other mcs and each of them works as button.On the stage I have an other mc called "website" in which I load the several pages of the website.Here is some code to understand better what I'm doing:code on the main stage where I automatically load an swf when the website loads:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var websiteRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("azienda.swf");
[code]...
and here is the code I have inside the mc menutopmc in order to change the child previously loaded on the stage:
ActionScript Code:
function btn_content(eventObject:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).website.removeChild(websiteLoader);
[code]...
Now, the new addChild in the function btn_content works and it loads the new child on stage but the removeChild doesn't work and this is the error I get:
1120: Access of undefined property websiteLoader.

I'm working on a simple Flash game for school. In one level, multiple enemies spawn and the player is supposed to shoot them. I used removeChild() to get rid of the enemy that got shot, but when I click (hit) an enemy, everything on my stage gets removed; it goes completely blank.The function to populate my stage with enemies is the following:

I have several objects created at frame 2 of my fla file, like:
Code:
stop();
var rotatorek:Rotator = new Rotator();
addChild(rotatorek);
var rpm:engine = new engine();
addChild(rpm);
etc...
After endGame is changed to true within one of my .as files, I got this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at Rotator_fla::MainTimeline/ruszMaszyna()[Rotator_fla.MainTimeline::frame2:94]
Frame 94 is first removeChild(rotatorek).
Why I can't remove all those children? I need to go to frame 1 without any instanced objects and cleared listeners.

I have a simple catching game with objects falling from the top of the screen and when they are caught at the bottom I want a movieclip to appear with +5 to show the point scoring. I have set up a timer to show the mc then to delete it when it finishes. It all works apart from the mc will not disappear once the timer is finished. I have thrown a trace statement in to check that it is firing and that shows up fine. What the hell am I doing wrong? Here is the section of code:

I have a parent swf that loads in 6 little swfs. However, I have a button which should remove the loaders from the stage, no matter which one it is from the 6. At the moment I can only remove one of them because of the way I have coded the application. So, when I click on the button which is supposed to remove whatever loader is currently sitting on top of my parent movie, it only removes one of the loaders - the one which is named first under my resetAssets function.
I can not have:
removeChild(ldr);
removeChild(ldr2);
removeChild(ldr3);
etc.
Because only one of them is being displayed at the time and flash goes like "hey dude! where are the others you want me to remove then!?" I suppose the whole code has been built up poorly and I should loop the swfs through one loader instead of having a loader for each swf.. Then I could just remove the loader no matter what sits in there..?
Code:
//imports
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("load_XML.swf");

I am using removeChild() to remove a MovieClip. And via tests, I can confirm that it's working fine ( stage.contains(mc) returns false ). But the MovieClip still does not seem to be removed, as if the stage is not updated correctly.
