how do I completely remove a movieclip that is created as a new class.I have an event listener that does a removeChild like this
e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
is this enough or do I have to 'null' the object? I can't just do 'e.target = null' because the property is read only. Will the internal garbage collection do the rest for me if I have no references somewhere else?
I want the mc to be removed with All its timers, events,... Is there a simple way to do this?

clip.removeChild(clip.getChildAt(0));
completely remove the child of clip at 0 index? I read somewhere you should set to null to all the references to that clip, but I have no other reference in my code. The clip at 0 was added via a regular addChild().
i have two classes:
videoPlayer(Document class) and videoControls(which is added to the stage by videoPlayer).
videoControls put an object on the stage at some point:
dp = new displayEnd();
dp.name="dpe";
addChild(dp);[code].....
I'm making a game in flash and am using arrays to dynamically create items and place them inventory. LongSword is a MovieClip. I place the movieclip in the array like so:
function buyitem1(e:Event):void
{
if(Store.itemslot.length < 6 && Store.currentMenu == 1 &&score >= 450)
{
[Code].....
[code]Then in another function, where I handle a rollover events for the Main Menu, where I want to remove the movieclip "target_mc" after a certain rollOut event [code]doesn't work.Now, I realise this is probably cause it's not in scope, but how would I remove a movieclip that is dynamically created in another function?

I know it is possible to attach a class to a movieclip that exists in the library by checking 'Export for ActionScript' and specifying an 'AS 2.0 class' for that symbol.
I would really like to know if it's also possible to attach a class to a movieclip that was created by using the 'createEmptyMovieClip' method.
I have created Movieclip in main actionscript file main.as :
var drawingSign:Movieclip = ne MovieClip();
drawingSign.x = 40;
drawingSign.y = 40;
How could I access it (add listeners etc.) from a class file?

I have this main (document class) in a Flash project:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
[Code]....
Now: if I pass a reference (ref) of the main class to Other and I add clippo as you can see in the first case, I can reference the movieclip clippo from the main (getChildAt(0) is "clippo" from the main). But, is there any way to use the second method (no ref) and do the same from the main class? I can see clippo onstage when Other creates it but I can't understand where clippo "lives" into the DisplayList.
I'm dynamically adding to the stage a series of mc from a MovieClip class contained in the library(instance.name: "btn_1", btn_2", etc..) and trying to call them from a method within my Main.as class. What's the best way to do this. I can't seem to reach these dynamically created MCs.

I have developed a touchscreen application that works perfectly fine except for the memory issue. Basically, the touchscreen app works kinda like a website with navgation on the side and content displaying next to it. I separeate each section into external swfs, and load each one up when it is needed, thinking it would reduce memory used on the pc. But unlike actionscript 2, AS 3 would not remove the external swfs from the memory. You can remove it from the stage and you won't see it, but the swf will still stay in the memory! So... as you navigate through the app, loading up all these external swf, even I do loader.unloadAndStop();, the swf is still there, and they just keep piling up in the memory as you navigate from the app. After leaving the touchscreen for a day or 2, having all these users naviage through it, all the external swfs will just completely consume all the resources and freeze the pc.

View 1 RepliesI am attempting to make a game, and i've got objects on the stage, which are from one particular class (Joint1), and i would like to remove those movieclips when you press the spacebar, how can i do that, without having to name and define all the movieclips in the script?
View 3 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is this: use the AS3 computeSpectrum method to trigger movieclips, one for each frequency band of the spectrum. Ideally, I'd like the movieclips to be placed on the stage using onEnterFrame or something, and then tweened (scaleX & scaleY) when its frequency band is triggered. does what I want, but this class uses the fillRect method to draw white squares when the frequency bands are triggered. I'm trying to replace the fillRect method with movieclips...So far, I've managed to add a movieclip to the stage from within that BeatDetector class (SoundBeat.as), but cannot get it to go away, it just keeps adding and adding and adding!Tried removeChild(myMovieClip), this.removeChild(...), this.parent.removeChild(...), but none work. I'm missing something really simple here, aren't I?Here's the code for SoundBeat.as:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Bitmap;

In document class action script file I add a movie clip to stage using
Code:
public var square:Square
square = new Square
addChild(square)
So it adds square to stage.Then after sometime I want it to be removed. I call a function "removeSquare" also located in document class. It executes the following code. And it removes the square from stage visualy.
Code:
trace("proff that it's executed")
removeChild(square)
square = null
Then of course I want to add a square to stage again, using code I written at top of the post. And remove it again, and so on..But game is lagging more and more and more. So I guess that the square is not properly removed. If you need more details about my code feel free to say, I just written that since I really doesn't know what else should be important.
