View 1 RepliesParent swf loads a Child Swf. Button on Child swf closes child swf and dispatches event to Parent Swf to listen for to remove the child swf from the stage. Here is the code on the Parent swf that does that:[code]function within the child swf is still going on... this function randomly calls different sounds and I can still hear those sounds!How can I stop this function?
View 1 RepliesA function within a child swf is continuing to go, even after I remove the child swf from the stage... this wouldn't really matter, except that there are sound elements called from within this function, and those sounds continue to play!

I am building a website in which the nav bar has an animation on the "home" frame and not on the others. It works all nice until I come back to "home" and then my nav bar bugs. So I am thinking the best way to "refresh" the nav bar would be to removeChild(); and then add it again... but then when I go to the other frames (pages) it disappears. If I run addChild(); to every pages.. then it duplicates it and becomes buggy. Is there a way to run an if() function that would check if the nav bar is already there and addChild only if it is not there?

Is it possible to check, using Javascript and without altering the ActionScript code at all, if a child has been added to the stage? I have in mind something like being able to call GetChildByName in Javascript, and if the child exists, call another javascript function.

View 9 RepliesI have a movieclip(parentMC) which consists of several other movieclips(childMCs). Each childMC can trigger an event, and each event performs a different function. I want to check from my parentMC whenever there is an event triggered by any of its child.
View 3 RepliesI have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
View 2 RepliesSee [URL] Now there is a button called Answera, which when clicked should have a symbol (movie clip) called Check appear at the cordinated specified. Check exists in the libary (but does not have an instance name) and no where else on the stage. when I run this code I get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Check. -> var rightCheck = new Check(); How is it undefinded if it exists in the libary?
View 7 RepliesThe following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

On one frame I add a child:
ActionScript Code:
var insert4:spin2MC = new spin2MC();
insert4.x = 490;
insert4.y = 380;
addChild(insert4);
setChildIndex(insert4, 12);
This MC is communicating with other MC's on this frame. It is for example placing MC hitspider at the same x as itself on EnterFrame.
[Code]....
But it still gives me an error. That it can't find the hitspider MC. Which is true cause it's not there. But since I removed the child why does it still look for this MC hitspider?
How can I tell what listeners are active in a file during build in the flash environment?

I've got a shell movie clip which loads some other clips. In one of the sub clips, I have a key listener. Inbetween loading of the sub clips, I have it removing the key listener and the movie clip.
But the function that was attached to the key listener is persistant, even after the sub clip has been deleted, and I've attempted to remove the key listener from the main shell. What ends up happening is the second time you load the sub clip, it runs the function *twice*, or three times, or as many times as you click the link to load it.
When i run the shell movie, it shows trace actions from the sub clip even after it's been removed!
