I want to delete a variable so if i create it later using again "var myVar:DataType" it won't throw an error because of the duplicated variable.I tried using delete but it says i can't use it on fixed property. I setted it to null as it states in help and again tried to delete it without luck.So how do i delete a variable?
View 1 Replieshow do you delete a variable in flash. Lets say you create a square for animation using ActionScript 3.0 and then I play the animation. The animation ends and I want to delete that square I don't need it anymore and I want to free up some memory, I don't talking here about removeChild that will remove it just from the display list i want that variable completely delete and the memory that shw was using restore. In others oop languages like c# you have the delete operator.
View 4 Repliesapparently, when a button is controlled by a function like so:
Code:
button.onRelease = function() {
pages = button;
trans.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
that variable "pages" is given a "_level0." before the variable info. How can I eliminate that from happening? Is there a way to delete the first 8 charaters of a variable when assigning it?
the problem with this is if I want to call a loadMovie like so:
Code:
loadMovie(_root.pages+".swf", "_root.target");
pages turns up as "_level0.button.swf"
If you have a variable that is a MovieClip, Sprite, String, Number, int, uint, or a Boolean, do you remove it's reference by adding:
myVariable = null;
OR delete(myVariable);
I got these four errors when I tried to create a button on the stage that would delete the text I inputted in the inputtext(ti). Based on the scripts I have and the errors, what should I write to create the delete button?

I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st'
2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before
i have ade moultiple textbox at run time now i want to delete a textbox by delete key how it is possible .
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to use the delete keyword to remove nodes from an xml file and it just plain won't work.Here's a stripped down example of what I'm working with. Every node has a child named "deleteme". If its value is equal to 1 I want to remove it from the xml file. If its anything else I want to leave it be. The delete method is deffinately gettig call but it's having no effect.

i have A,B,C,D moveiclip
now i want to delete a mc with delete key .if i select A then press delete key it will delete .
In my project are pages of text with each word having a button that when pressed will display a movieclip presentation about that word (its pronounciation and spelling etc..). In the project I am working on now I have over 450 unique presentations of words to deal with. I don't want to have all of these hundreds of movie clips on the stage and tell them one at a time to stop and rewind and then have one play each time a word button is pressed. That seems to be very inefficient to me.
add movieclips to the stage using addChild(movieclipname) and remove them using removeChild(movieclipname) but there is a problem. I have hundreds of unique movieclips and I don't want to have to manage hundreds of variables containing the indivudual movieclip instancess. It is a real pain having to figure out what instance is still on the stage before i delete it.In Adobe Director all I have to do is this:
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
i have a variable take away another variable which makes answer1 variable i then want answer1 to be to the power of another variable how can i do this in flash

I am trying to delete some copy but when I do it, it leaves a huge black space (previewed in Firefox and Safari on Mac) which is the space left when I deleted the script and I don't know how to close up the black space (like I would do in indesign or Word). I am doing something wrong but I don't know how to fix this simple thing.

This code just generates a new ham_mc where the user releases the original (drag and drop). The original returns to its starting point. I have the same code for a movieclip called cheese_mc, the user can drag and drop cheese too.
So, if more than one of these ham_mc's and cheese_mc's are created, what is the best way to delete the last one created?
Is it possible to delete a function?
I have a reusable function, on the first frame it works, but on the 2nd it doesn't load properly and duplicates itself because the other function is still running in the background.
You'll have to forgive my ignorance on the subject, but if you have an object (movieclip, image, w/e) on the stage, and you want to tell flash you're done with it and all it's children (muahaha), what's the best way to do this?I've been using:
Code:
function removeChildAndChildren(targetMC){
while(targetMC.numChildren){

I want to name a function, and in the next frame of the movieclip to delete it.[code]...
View 7 RepliesI've just made the jump into AS3 from AS2 and am having trouble deleting a text box if I create it within a function. If I use exactly the same code outside of a function, it works a treat. I'm assuming this is something to do with the text box not having a global or _root property
Code below:
//I can delete this
var headline:TextField = new TextField();
headline.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
headline.htmlText = "COPY TEST";

For some reason i'm not being able to clear the objects on screen. I create objects through arrays and i'm not clearing correctly these arrays.

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to delete a scene, in Flash CS5?
I have two scenes in the current .fla, and I want to delete one.
I'm pretty new to actionscript 3.0 and thus I get the feeling I'm making a very juvenile mistake.. either way I have been trying to solve this problem for hours to no avail. I have an assignment in uni to produce a basic flash game that is meant to meet a set criteria involving playing/pausing music, loading external swfs and so on which I have had no problem with.
The one issue I am having however is creating what is essentially a pond game in which a bird is meant to swoop down and pick up a fish. Getting a hit test to detect the collision between the fish and the bird is working fine but I want the fish to delete itself and then generate a new movieclip as the brief specifies. I can get it to generate a new movieclip no problem but for some reason I can't get it to delete the original one. [code]...
I'm modifiying the 3D Carousel and I want that onRelease function it desapears. I've created a new layer with two frames. The first have an stop(); and the second have a red rectangle.
I can go to this frame but I've tryied a lot of diferent methods to stop/delete the carrusel and it continues appearing.
can you delete a onEnterFrame that is placed on the MC its self, for example:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){i=0}
onClipEvent(onenterFrame){
i++
if(i>50){
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}
the concept is simple and works when placed on the timeline but does not work when placed directly on the MC.
I have made this flash thing. And it makes mcs on stage, and i have a button where i want to delete them all but cuzrrently my button deletes 1 at a time.I want it to delete all of thwem at 1 time
View 1 RepliesIve got a little problem here. You can see im duplicating some movieClips, in a for loop. They have some XML values, but thats not important. When i click one of the movieClips ive duplicated, ive set it to add one to the "length" variable. But i somehow need it to run though the code from start, when i press that button. And if its possible, to delete all the duplicates it made before.
