ActionScript 3.0 :: Timer Animation - Adding And Removing Children
Aug 24, 2011
I am working on a game and want to reward the player with an animation at the end of a level. I have created a time and added the animation to the stage but I cannot figure out how to remove the animation once the timer has completed.
Code: Select all/* Simple Timer
Displays a countdown timer in the Output panel until 30 seconds elapse. This code is a good place to start for creating timers for your own purposes.
Instructions:
1. To change the number of seconds in the timer, change the value 30 in the first line below to the number of seconds you want.
var celebration:Celebration;
var fl_TimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(1000,30);
fl_TimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_TimerHandler);
fl_TimerInstance.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, removeTimer);
fl_TimerInstance.start();

So basically I've got a MovieClip called Jug and when the egg is clicked and dragged to the Jug I want it to disappear and then re-add itself in the place it first started. Aswell as this I want a variable to be added by 1 in value. I have tried fiddling around with this for a while now and I can't figure it out since when I remove child it gets errors. Here's the code:

I've spent hours, and for all my self taught newbie-ness, I can't crack this: I have a navigation panel with several buttons. Lets call it mainNav. The mainNav buttons each add to the stage their corresponding MCs. They also remove any MCs from previous buttons currently on the stage. This is done by creating the MCs as variables, pushing those variables into an Array, and, when the mainNav button is pressed, calling the following function to remove the old (provided with assistance of the nice folks here), and then addChild(correspondingChild)

Adding / removing children (could be 10 times every few seconds)These children also have several animations associated with them
or
Adding all children once, and simply placing them out of stage view, and calling them back when needed to the stage (these will be still be running through their animation sequence while offstage, or they can be stopped) child.x -= 10000;

In this game attached I need the old Children (rats) to hurt the character when he walks into them, however only the most recently added Child is active in that way... also the rats seem to appear above the character instead of below, is there any way to resolve these issues??

I have a movieclip in which I want to remove all of the children that are of type textfield, leaving anything else.
This is what I have so far but it throws an error.
Code:
if(String(this.mcContentOnStage.getChildAt(i).type) == "[object TextField]")
{
"This must be a textfield!"
//this.mcContentOnStage.getChildAt(i).text
}

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

I have a MovieClip that I dynamically add other MCs as children to. Now I'd like to have a function that removes ALL children at once. I tried a loop with (i < mc.numChildren) but somehow it will only remove even-numbered children, the odd ones stay on stage?

I did this once in AS2, but as I'm trying now to code in AS3, everything has to be re-learned. I have a very simple game where the user has to navigate through an intersection without getting hit by oncoming traffic. The traffic is a single movie clip that I want to use over and over. Using an interval, I can add the movie clip as a child of a container, but once it plays it's done. Previously, I used the variable "i" and added it to the end of the instance name. Something like this did work:

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?

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?

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.

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?

I am creating a number of text fields dynamically and then adding them to various movie clips within a function like this:
ActionScript Code:
this['services'+i+'_mc'].addChild(btnTxt);
...how can I later remove them from their movieclips outside of the original function? I have tried everything I can think of. For example if I run another function with a loop and try
ActionScript Code:
this['services'+i+'_mc'].removeChild(btnTxt);

Okay I have two arrays, one full of bullets, the other enemies. They compare each array and hit detect. The splice function is removing the Array instance of the enemy. Now, this is all good for removing the entry from the array, the trace function says this is working, but I'm not sure how to remove the child from the stage here? I figure calling a custom class from here such as enemy.die(); is possible, but how do I specify the instance that was hit detected? Sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense but I am just learning and trying everything I can think of.

I added children to the stage on frame 1, however they still exist on frame 2 even though there is no code there. Can I erase the stage? Or do I have to throw every object into an array and use removeChild in a loop?

I have a class, called fCont (I know, I should use capital letters for class names... oh well), and I need to remove all instances of it from my MovieClip.I'm making a Facebook browser for a uni assignment. When you go to the Friends page, it loads 15 friends, and that's fine. The code below is called on the "Next Page" button press.

I am having memory problems when adding & removing children. Here is a brief overview of what I'm doing:I'm ading children to a VBox component:the structure of the children is:
Code:
<mx:Canvas>
<mx:Image/>
<mx:Text/>
[code]....
All remove the children, BUT I am getting memory leaking, especially using the second method! If I don't add the TextField child to the UIComponent I don't seem to experience any memory problems!

I have 36 images in a movie clip. Inside of that movie clip there are 36 other movie clips containing one separate image. I have figured out how to click on them and add it to the stage. But I can figure out how to get them to remove when another image is clicked. (ex. I click on image 1 it will appear on stage but when I click image 2 it show image 2 on top of image 1.) the thing is I don't want to have to click on the images in order. If any image is clicked the one showing on stage will automatically disappear.
