ActionScript 3.0 :: Delete Object From ContextMenuEvent?
Sep 28, 2011
I have a contextMenuItem on an object that I want to use to delete the object. The object being deleted will not have an ID so how can I remove this object from the stage?
When I use MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT the target is [object MovieClip], but when I use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT I get [object Bildspel] - and Bildspel is my class. The thing is that when I use ROLL_OUT I'm not able to delete the targets ENTER_FRAME event.
I have a contextmenu setup for videocomponent. (go fullscreen for example). It's basically a videoObject wrapped in a Sprite. I have setup a contextmenu for this sprite. my problem is that the ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT event is not triggering when I click on the videoObject and select a custom menu item. (default items like settings DO work). When I click on a part of the sprite outside the videoObject, the event IS triggered.
I've read many many articles and I've asked others if the can help, but I'm stumped. The functionality I'm looking for apparently works in CS5 of as3, but it's not working in my cs4 version of as3.
This is what I'm trying to do. I've created a first person shooter game. I have bullets come out of a gun and hit the bad guys. When the bad guys are hit, I want to do the following -
1. make the bad guy and bullet invisible - done, works.
2. remove all references to both the bad guy object and bullet object - done, seems to work.
3. delete the bad guy object and the bullet object from the stage - doesn't work, can't seem to figure out why not.[code]...
All of the bullets are of the "Bullet" class and are stored in an array called "bullets" in the main class. When bullets exit the screen, removeBullet(bulletID) in the main class is called.
private function removeBullet(id:int) { removeChild(bullets[id]); bullets.splice(id); }
In my Bullet class I have an enterFrame listener that traces "stillHere". So as soon as a bullet is added to the main stage using addChild, "stillHere" starts popping up in my output panel.
My problem is that even after I call the removeBullet, "stillHere" keeps popping up in the output panel, which tells me that the object which I tried to delete is still sticking around somewhere in the memory.
Flash gives access to query-string parameters via calling loaderInfo.parameters() method.And I couldn't delete the field on the object. IS it possible to delete some fields in the object? how can I do this?
I have created a delete button, and when the user clicks it.. I want it to delete the selected movie clip. I have created a variable selecteddrawing to store whatever movie clip is currently selected.
when i call the event listener, and tried removeChild(selecteddrawing) it gives me this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild() at SendLove/deleteListener()
Here is the code that i just wrote for the delete button. I will attach the entire AS3 file as well.
ActionScript Code: create.delete_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, deleteListener); private function deleteListener(event:MouseEvent):void {
"you cannot delete variables that are declared within a function with the var statement".Which, as it happens, is precisely what I was trying to doI want to delete the object because it holds a bunch variables that are no longer needed, to prevent potential speed/memory issues later on.it's impossible (probably with reason) and I know vars are local to a function, so now I'm wondering if it is actually necessary to remove local variables
Flash will automatically remove the objects that you added onto the stage when the frame changes, but leaves all the objects created by actionscript. cleaning them up/removing from stage when the frame changes?

Is there a quicker way besides iterating thru all entries in the associative array Related to - How do I delete a value from an Object-based associative array in Flex 3?
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 a tree with nodes , and a delete button , first user select the node and click this delete button , I want this node to be removed from the tree , Its not XML , every node in tree is of type Object
{label:'folder',children:[{label:'file1'}]}
I tried delete myTree.selectedItem (but compiler wont let me do it) also tried myTree.selectedItem = null (just unselects the item)and also how can I access reference to parent object of myTree.selectedItem ?
I am using a regular Flash object as a simple data container, and I want to remove a particular property of that object. Then that object gets passed on to a for..in loop. But even after using delete to remove the property, the key still shows up in the loop.
For example:
var obj:Object = { a: "a", b: "b", c: "c" } delete obj['b']; for ( var prop:String in obj ) {
[Code].....
So deleting the property seems to be the same as assigning its value to null.
Is there any way to immediately remove the property from the object altogether so that it is no longer looped over in a for..in loop?
It is not sufficient to check the property for a null value since a property with a null value is not the same as not having the property in the first place, and represents a different state. I don't want to set the property to null, I want to remove the property.
Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?
I'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 movie containing a movieclip in which an empty movieclip is created with AS, showing an externally loaded pic.At the click of a button i want the pic to unload again, but it does'nt work. I tried removeMovieClip and Delete.
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?
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.
