how to cal movieclip from stage to the movielcip which present in another movieclip
View 4 RepliesWhy do I get this error saying parent does not exist when I try to remove a movieclip. In the first case, the movieclip cannot exist either on screen/memory if it was not 'contained' by either a movieclip or stage. How can this happen, can somebody explain how this "movieclip" loses its parent reference to the stage or container mc. The debugger stack shows the value of movieclip.parent as null.

View 3 RepliesThere is a library component represented by Class A. But constructor of this class requires some parameters. When the component needs to be added dynamically, it's fine because of code :
var abc:A = new A(param1,param2)
But what if my movieclip is already present on the stage. I notice it gives out error, that the parameters are null.
Is their any way to insert constructor parameters for movieclips already on stage.

On the click of a button I am having a movie clip load onto the stage from the library using the _root.attachMovieClip command and that part of my code is working perfectly.I have a close button embeded into the movieclip being loaded in but I am unable to get it to remove the movieclip from the stage when the close button is clicked. The close button has to be inside the loading movie clip so it doesn't interfere with other items on the stage which is why i'm not using _visible to show and hide the menu.

View 11 RepliesI am getting a little fustrated with trying to remove a MovieClip from my stage after I am done with it. On loading my frame, I have a little bit of code in a function that creates a piechart.
var piechart:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(piechart);
//Then a bunch more to draw the pie chart
So that bit of code is NOT on my "Actions" layer. Now I have a button on this frame that navigates to a different frame in the timeline but when I change frames, the piechart remaines. So, how do I remove this piechart from the stage after I am done with it? I have tries stage.removeChild(...) and others but perhapse I am calling it wrong?
is it possible for a movieclip to say that it wants to remove itself from the stage?i am dynamically adding a bullet (movieclip) to the stage for this "tank-type" game im making.. since it's a bullet, it obviously moves.... so, if the bullet's X position is beyond 550, i would like flash to remove it so that it doesn't take up memory...here is the class of the movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
[code]............
The normal procedure will be to call the parent to remove the child.
ActionScript Code:
stage.removeChild(temporary_movieclip);
or just
[Code].....
I am highly aware that this is a BAD practice in all logical sense, because the parent SHOULD be in charge of removing its childs because then it can set them to nil and remove all Event Listeners for the garbage collector.
Why iPhone ObjC allows that is beyond me.
Is there a way to get a movieclip to remove itself ?
I have a problem. I have a MovieClip that has a script. The MovieClip has an object inside of it. The script is for when I press the left and right arrow keys, the objects inside the MovieClip change. This MovieClip is placed on the stage.
I have a button on the stage, when its pressed, the MovieClip mentioned above is removed.
Once its remove, I press the left and right arrow keys and I revive errors in the output saying; the eventlisteners are still there but the objects gone, error.
I am wondering how I can either remove the event listeners in a MovieClip from the stage and/or how to acess variables and EventListners in a MovieClip from the stage.
i am trying to making a simple game, but face a problem. I want to remove MC form Array and stage.
1. i create small box on stage. And store every box in boxArr:Array because i want to play with box later.
when we move cursor on box. box color have been changed. and selected box index stored in selectedArr:Array;
when i clicked on red btn. All box should be remove form stage besides of selected box.

well both
if(xyz)
and
try{} catch (){} did not work. Both will cause compiler error "Access of undefined property xyz". Inept, what does getChildAt return? Does it return the textField object itself? If so, how do we test if its name is xyz?
I have created a listener for stage in a function. The same function is called by another function. Now I need to check with a condition that whether the stage listener is present or not.

View 2 RepliesI am using the following code to generate a bullet (I have a bullet it the library linked Bullet):
ActionScript Code:
function createBullet (bulletSpeed:Number, startx:Number, starty:Number) {
var bullet:MovieClip = new Bullet();
bullet.x = startx;
[Code].....
upon the bullet.x getting to less that 50 it deletes the movieclip ok (other instances of the bullet are still onstage, which is what I want) but it gives the error:
ActionScript Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()

What i want to happen seems quite simple yet i keep getting the error "access of undefined property" when what i'm trying to remove is in fact defined in the same class but it obviously cannot gain access to it.
I want to remove a MovieClip from the stage once a button has been clicked.The MovieClip is created in the same class as my button function i created. The button works fine but whatever i try to put within the function to remove the MovieClip cause the error i mentioned at the start.
In the code below, I have created an instance of the DrawLineChart class called LineChart1.When I test the movie, it shows up on the stage just fine and when I click on it, I can use a trace command to get a string statement written to the output window. However, now I want to be able to click on LineChart1 on the stage and have it be removed. When I do that, I get an error message 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1.
why I'm unable to refer to my instance LineChart1 and what I need to do so that I can refer to it and remove it when it gets clicked? why the trace statement works when I click on LineChart1 during runtime, but not the removechild command.
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code]....
trace("hello"); // This works. When I click on the LineChart1 MovieClip on the stage during runtime, I get "hello" as an output. removeChild(LineChart1); // throws an error 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1.
its a simple 6 thumbnail gallery with coded tweens. Once a thumbnail is clicked then its attached larger image is meant to display on the screen, this seems to only work after the first click of a thumbnail once the image appears then is clicked it dissapears, and this function only used to work once but now it only works twice, exept the second time around the larger image cannot be removed from the stage, could it be a swapDepths issue?here is my code, i have only fully coded the first thumbnail top left. find attached my swf for the file,

Suppose there is a button on stage - on press - I want to [display / start to run] a movie clip present in library (should i place it on stage?) I tried:
on (press) {
loadMovie("one_mc", "1");
}
not working.
I'm working with a movieclip right now that has two frames in it. I want the user to be able to go back and forth between the pages by clicking on tabs on either page. The button that they click on is only present on the frame that it is applicable (so, the button to switch to frame 2 is only present on frame 1, and vice versa).
I want to control when they are able to click back and forth, and be able to turn the buttons on and off whenever I need to, but since the button to switch back to frame 1 is only on frame 2, when I reference it from the main timeline, the button registers as a null object. How do I refrence an object that is not present on the first frame of a clip?

I have a strange issue where a dynamic text field will not show a bold version of a font (Gerstner BQ) if the regular version is on the stage in a static text field.Remove the static text field and the dynamic text field displays the bold font correctlyI have created a test FLA to reproduce this and by turning the layer with the static text field on and off (Publish settings -> Flash -> include hidden layers [unchecked]), the issue is quite clearhis issue is so big for me that I have had to abandon a project in CS5 and start again in CS4 just to work around this.

im trying to remove these movie clips from the stage but its not working. Im spawning the movie clip to the stage every time i slide the timeline_slider, which is instance name for a slider component.
I manage to put the spawned movie clip in a array using push, but i don't know how to delete them. Because what i want to happen is that every time i slide the slider i only want a certain amount of movie clips on the stage, but what is happening is they spawn on the stage and stay there.
for example. if i slide 1 across it spawns 5 mc if i slide again to the second increment it spawn 4 so total number on movie clips on the stage is 9.
i want to only spawn the number of movie clips that increment on the slider is set to. i would also like it to work backwards as well, so if im on the second increment it should have 4 movie clips on the stage, and if i go back to the first increment i should only have 5 movie clips on the stage. this is my code for spawning with the slider
this is my arrays of the numbers are now many movie clips i want to spawn to the stage.
Code:
var rdCounts:Array = [5516 / 1000,5517 / 1000,5570 / 1000,5585 / 1000,5596 / 1000,5656 / 1000,5804 / 1000,5965 / 1000,8692 / 1000,15194 / 1000,16475 / 1000];
var NewAuspop:Array= new Array();
