ActionScript 3.0 :: Instance Name Of Attached Mc?
Jul 4, 2009I just moved to AS3 and I learnt how to attach a movieclip.
ActionScript Code:
var attachedMC = new (getDefinitionByName(PageName) as Class)();
holder.addChild(attachedMC);
Where PageName is the string containing the Class of the movieclip in the library and holder is the instance name of the MC to be attached to.
But what instance name do I use to refer to the movieclip that got attached?
In AS2, the code would have gone like this
ActionScript Code:
holder.attachMovie(PageName, "instanceName", 1);
The instance name part of the code seems to be missing in AS3. SO how do I refer the the attached MC or "child"?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Unable To Remove Attached MovieClip?
Apr 17, 2006I have a mc in the library, linkage is "del". Here is the code I use to attach to the movie
Code:
delbt.onPress = function () {
if (typeof(_root.del) == undefined) {
_root.attachMovie ("dele", "del", _root.getNextHighestDepth ());
_root['del']._x = 100;
_root['del']._y = 100;
[Code] .....
This works fine to a point. In the "del" mc I have a button to remove "del" mc if no longer required.
Code:
on (release) {
unloadMovie(_root.del)
}
I discovered that this only remove the content and not the mc that holds it "del". So I tried
Code:
on (release) {
_root.del.removeMovieClip ();
}
But this does nothing.

Actionscript 3 :: Setting An Object To Null, Automatically Remove All Attached Event Listeners?
Jan 20, 2011Lately I've found myself constantly writing removeEventListeners everywhere, which makes code quite messy. I know it's a best practice and such, but in general it has no sense. Garbage collector should handle such a simple task by itself, shouldn't it? Is it that hard to remove all listeners automatically when object is set to null?
So I just want to be sure if that's the case. Does setting an object to null, automatically remove all attached event listeners? In my case scenario is like this - I create an object and attach bunch of event listeners to it, then after a while I need to re-initialize this object. Of course setting this object to null is much easier then unbinding every listener by hand. And on most part listeners are anonymous functions, which means that it's not possible without code refactoring. When I simply re-initialize a variable with new I do not get duplicate listeners and such, but I'm not sure that it's previous value, along with all the listeners gets garbage-collected. Is it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove Action From One Instance?
Dec 15, 2010Say I create a movieclip which acts like a button, meaning that it has an over state, out state etc. I then create five instance of this movieclip and give each one an instance name e.g. b1, b2, b3, b4 and b5. Is there anyway of removing the states actions of say b1 without having to create a new button just for this? I was hoping there was something like b1.turnOffEffects = true (In my dreams, lol).

that works. problem is im setting variables at runtime depending on a user click.tried this too..
Actionscript Code:
var myvar;object1.onRelease = function() {myvar = this._name;}
tracing this out reveals that it is actually _level0.object1.also tried adding the string "_level0." + object1. still dosen' work.what im trying to do is click on objects. store there instance names into an array then remove them all when i do something else. such as press space.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Global Timer Control - Remove Instance Refs From Array?
Sep 15, 2008I'm writing a video game and I have used timers all over the place to make everything go. Now I want to be able to pause the game, completely. Meaning, I need to stop and start all timer instances at once, or globally. So I created a Timer subclass called CustomTimer, put some statics in there, came up with the attached code. Now my problem is that I'm pretty sure I've created a memory leak, in that the instances array will just grow and wont allow or gc. So, my question is, is there an "onDestroy()" method or somesuch, that I can override, and use that moment to remove instance refs from the instances array? Or, is there a smarter way to do this? an application object with a pause method perhaps?

Mar 20, 2009Does 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?
