ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclips RemoveChild From Different Frame?
Apr 11, 2009
I have a set of buttons on the main timeline that gotoandplays movieclips that reside in different frames. These movieclips are on the stage by using addChild statements. As I click a button and it takes me to that specific frame, I am having hard time removing these movieclips using conditionals when I click on one of the buttons...
I tried to replicate my problem in the attached source file... so it may be easier for someone to understand my specific question. *Again, I have to use addChild statements for these movieclips on each frame... I know this would be no issue if it were just timeline object based...

I have a MovieClip that loads other MovieClips. These I refer to as Galleries as they display some of my different web and art work. Each of these galleries has a close button (actually a MovieClip...) which works well enough. However I find that if I close a gallery and then re-open the same one, the close button refuses to do it's job again. The gallery remains open.
I'm pretty sure this is because I haven't used removeChild correctly. I knew I had a problem with this before, but thought I had solved it. Since, when the galleries close button is clicked, it plays a closing animation I couldn't figure how to add the removeChild for the MovieClip. This is what it looks like (including my commented out failure...)
ActionScript Code:
vectorGallery.close_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeVector);
function closeVector(e:MouseEvent):void{
vectorGallery.gotoAndPlay("close");
/*if (photoGallery.currentFrame == photoGallery.totalFrames){
removeChild(photoGallery);
}*/}
ActionScript Code:
this.parent.removeChild(this);
at the last frame of the gallery MovieClip.
But I think I'd rather do it correctly.

Here is my code in creating the clips: box_type1 is a library movieclip. I already imported it to my document class. That is working.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:uint=0; i<3; i++) {
var Boxes:MovieClip=new box_type1();
Boxes.x=i * 80;
Boxes.y=i * 50;
Boxes.width=27;
Boxes.height=27;
Boxes.name="Boxes"+i;
addChild(Boxes);
}
Now how could I removeChild a specific Boxes? Like the Boxes with a name of Boxes0? Or my creation of multiple moviclips is wrong? BTW That works. It creates 3movieclips.

I am a noob to Flash AS3, having a problem loading animated MC's. I am creating an AS3 file. I have 5 animated movie clips, I want to load a new clip after the previous one is done animating. I would like to load each clip with code. I can get them to load, but not sure how to removeChild after 1 cycle of animation and add the new child to follow.

if you view my project you will see that it is a drag and drop application. You will also see two buttons at the bottom (I plan on adding more), when you click on a box it will add more objects to the menu. Heres where my question comes in, the box then says remove on it, I want the items that were added by clicking on the box to be removed as well as items added to the stage when you click on that same box again, how do I do this?

Here is my script:
ActionScript Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("some.swf");
myLoader.x=315;
myLoader.y=223;
myLoader.load(url);
When I go to a new frame the swf does not vanish it just stays there. How do I get rid of the loaded swf from within the swf? I guessed it's something to do with the child?

I was having trouble even knowing quite what to search for so I figured asking a question in a forum would be the best way to go. Currently I am making an application where I have multiple movieclips of equal duration on multiple frames. For example, movieclip_1 is on frame 1 and is 40 frames long. There is currently a scrub bar that scrubs through the 40 frames of movieclip_1. On frame 1 of the Scene there are also buttons with the actions to gotoAndStop on frame 2, frame 3, and frame 4. Frame 2 contains movieclip_2, frame 3 contains movieclip_3, and so on. The functionality of this is that it shows medical conditions progressing from different angles and when a button is clicked the display shows a close up of just that one angle. As expected, without any actions on the movieclips navigating from one frame to the next brings up the proper new movieclip but they always begin at frame 1. What I would like to be able to do is somehow have my movieclips know what frame they are on so when a button is clicked the application would go to that frame and open that movie clip to the same frame as the previous one that was just navigated from.

I'm trying to build a conditional statement that will addChild and removeChild at different Timer Delays. Before I go any further, I thought, I should mention that I'm usinig TweenMax to ease the alpha of ease Child from 1 to 0 and back during the process to imitate a fade-in/out.
I'm getting issue with only one line - inside a conditional statement.It's running "OK". The movie runs as I want it, but the remove/addChild transitions are not at the speed I want it at. I am getting an error message in the output, but other than that, the movie runs fine.

I need to loop through all the child inside a .fla file, and I can reach only the first frame movieclips when I loop through the childs, I found a "solution" that consists in copy all the movieclips to the first frame.Is there a way to loop to every movieclip, even if those are located in, let say, frame 120 in the timeline?

I have my main stage upon which I have 4 movieclips with buttons over the top of them. The movieclips are essentially boxes and are all on the left hand side of the stage. I am making a presentation of various projects I have been working on and the idea is that when I click on a button, the movieclip below moves slightly to the right (clear of the other buttons) and gets larger to fill the rest of the space on the stage. My project is then displayed in that box.
When I click on the button the movieclip underneath it is told to goto frame 2 and play. For this example lets call it MC1. Once the button is clicked it goes to frame 2 of MC1 and plays a shape tween (basically the box moves and gets larger). I disable all other buttons on the page. Once it has finished I have added a button in the top right to basically do the reverse (i.e move the box back to its orginal size and location. I then enable all of the buttons.
This works fine in principal because I can view all of the movieclips individually but just have to close them before I can look at the next one. The only reason I disable all of the buttons is because if I don't do that and happen to click on one of the other buttons they do the same thing as the first MC1, but MC1 stays in place and doesn't return to its original size. Is there actionscript to basically do the following:
1) I click on MC1 - it opens and shows my project.
2) I then happen to click on MC3 and it will close MC1 and then open MC3.
However, the order in which I press the buttons could be completely random so I could go from MC2 to MC4, MC 2 to MC1 etc. I know that I cant just add code that says on(release) of a button gotoAndPlay the frame that makes the Movieclip back to its original size, for all of the movieclips simply because not all of the movieclips are open it is just one of them. Is there some sort of script that remembers the last button or movieclip that was used? I am sure there must be some 'If' ''Then' statements involved but again I am stabbing in the dark.

I'm having a little trouble thinking this out and would appreciate some insight from more experienced AS3 users:I have 6 instances of a dice movieclip all named "DiceOne", "DiceTwo", etc. that each have multiple frames (with the appropriate graphic) labelled "empty", "disabled", "One", "Two", etc.What I'm trying to achieve is a way to cycle through each dice instance and check what frame it is on. If it is NOT on frame labelled "disabled", do something. If it is, do nothing.

How can I simply use an array or something to save the current frame of all the child movieclips so when I change the frame and then go back, they don't start on the first frame again? It is a very simple question, but I have a feeling that it is going to be super hard to implement.

I was wondering if there is a tutorial on how to create a one frame website using movieclips as my pages instead of the seperate movies. In other words, I read this tutorial on this site :[URL]..
but i want my pages to be movieclips instead of seperate flash movies. Is there a tutorial for that? or can someone help me with the code to do that? The code for the tutorial is well-commented but I'm still a little lost...
This is a great tutorial for all Flash web designers/developers and good to have under your belt, so guys, let's figure this out together to be great actionscripters..

I have the MovieClip named dessin, which loads another MovieClip named dessin (dessin.dessin). Now, there is a MovieClip named displayPlane, in the new MovieClip (dessin.dessin), in the MovieClip named displayPlane, there is a variable, which goes as follows:
Actionscript Code:
var _loc3 = displayPlane.attachMovie("displayNode", "displayNode_" + projectCount, projectCount);
inside that clip, there are multiple MovieClips in vars, I am trying to specifically target one var, the following:
Actionscript Code:
var _loc8 = this.attachMovie("closeBtn", "closeBtn", 5);
I have tried this code to target that specific MovieClip with no success.
Actionscript Code:
_root.dessin.dessin._loc3._loc8

I have tried everything but it just isn't working.On my main timeline I have a MC called "rainbow." Inside "rainbow" I have a MC called "greenbow."Inside "greenbow" I have a MC called "meetbtn2" I want it to play frame 134 on the main timeline when you click "meetbtn2."my code inside greenbow is as follows:
meetbtn2.onRelease = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay(134);
};
however it doesn't work! is it because i am inside two MC's?I have also tried
_root.rainbow.greenbow.meetbtn2.onRelease = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay(134);

After switching to AS3, I've been having a hell of a time figuring out the best way to manage MovieClips that have UI elements spread across multiple frames with a single class. An example that I am working on now is a simple email form. I have a MovieClip with two frames:
the 1st frame has the form elements (text inputs, submit button) the 2nd frame has a "you" message and a button to go back to the first frame (to send another email) In the library I have linked the MovieClip to a custom class (Emailer). My immediate problem is how do I assign a MouseEvent.CLICK event to the button on the 2nd frame? I should note at this point that I am trying to avoid putting code on the timeline (except for stop() calls). This is how I am 'solving' the problem now:
Emailer registers an event listener for a frame change ( addEventListener("frame 2", onFrameChange) )On the 2nd frame of the MovieClip I am calling dispatchEvent(new Event("frame 2")); (I would prefer to not have this code on the frame, but I don't know what else to do)
My two complaints with this method are that, first I have calls to addEventListener spread out across different class methods (I would rather have all UI event listeners registered in one method), and second that I have to dispatch those custom "onFrameChange" events. The second complaint grows exponentially for MovieClips that have more than just 2 frames.
My so called solution feels makes me feel dirty and makes my brain hurt. I am looking for any advice on what to do differently. Perhaps there's a design pattern I should be looking at? Should I swallow my pride and write timeline code even though the rest of my application is written in class files (and I abhor the Flash IDE code editor)?
I absolutely LOVE the event system, and have no problem coding applications with it, but I feel like I'm stuck thinking in terms of AS2 when working with mutl-frame movieclips and code.

I have a problem regarding flash, actionscript3 and movieclips.
I have 2 videos(inserted as movieclips, each one in different frames 100 and 102). I want to gotoAndPlay the one on frame 102, but the other in frame 100 always starts at the same time. How do I play just the specific movieclip of frame 102?
P.S. If I order to reproduce the movieclip on 100, it starts as it should.

Basically I'm making a demonstration of a puzzle for class.
Each MovieClip is a bit of the puzzle, and users can move forward a frame or back a frame using the keyboard using the on(keyPress) function.
When the puzzle is complete, I want text to appear (or another MovieClip, ideally) letting the user know they've completed it.
So I'd want the text to appear when the following conditions are fulfilled:
round_mc is at frame 53
square_mc is at frame 2
triangle_mc is at frame 19
rectangle_mc is at frame 80

I've found the solutions for most of my many problems with as 3 but this one is really baffling The frame actions of child-movieclips of dynamically added movieclips are not firing! If I have movieclip, say "mc", which contains a child-movieclip "submc" which has a timeline animation in it with "stop();" on the last frame and I add "mc" on the stage via addChild() the stop action inside the sub movieclip will not work.
All the frame actions inside "mc" itself work. Everything works if I drag the movieclip onto the stage manually. Right now the only way I can see to stop a movieclip on its last frame is by using the ENTER_FRAME event, but that's awfully cumbersome.

I have code to send a movieclip to a frame label which works just fine, but I want to pull the frame labels from a database for multiple movieclips and send them to different frames.. the following works :-
tab1.gotoAndStop('Roleplay');
but once in a loop, I'm having problems... is it down to the syntax ?
for (i = 1; i <= 4; i++) {
var currentTab:String = "tab" + i; var currentTag:String = event.target.data["tag" + i];
[currentTab]gotoAndStop(currentTag);
}

I've been working on a new issue while giving a break on cracking the other one.I have a movie clip acting as a button with rollover/rollout animation- we'll call it menu_mc for simple reference.I'm basically creating a rollover submenu. I've set it up a few different ways but the most user friendly has been hiding the submenu_mc (which has 4 linked buttons to root frame inside) by doing:
_root.sub5_mc._visible = false;
then inside the menu_mc with the rollover I have the submenu trigger set to show:
_root.sub5_mc._visible = true;

I have an instance of a movie clip on the stage that jumps to different labels (within the movieclip) when the large buttons at the top of the scene are in rollover state. The problem is that it stays there when the mouse leaves the button.
How do I make that symbol go back to frame one (not there) within the movie clip so that it disappears when there is no activity on the buttons?
Is there a button parameter like MOUSE_OFF (I know that's not one)?

If I have 5 frames and each contanins a MovieClip on stage that includes it's class, listeners, functions etc.If I go from one frame to another,should I clean everything up? I mean remove listeners, remove childs etc etc.Or other MovieClips except those in the current frame are ignored from flash player.

I have two movieclips on the same frame but on different layers located within the movieclip. The first movieclip plays just fine. However, the second one isn't going ahead even a single frame. The code that I have mentioned below is located withing the second movieclip containing background image. And I think this code is causing the issue because when I remove this it plays perfectly fine. The function of this code is to automatically re-size background image with the browser dimensions. The whole code just worked fine on the main timeline.However, when I shifted it inside a movieclip its causing an issue.
//set stage for FBF
stage.align = "TL";
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
