I'm making a game in flash and am using arrays to dynamically create items and place them inventory. LongSword is a MovieClip. I place the movieclip in the array like so:
I'm making a game for children where they have to pay money by dragging it on a square. It al works wel only when i pick the first coin of one euro without going over the coin of 2 euro and then pick up a 2 euro coin the one euro disappears. after then it all works fine.i cant remove my duplicate euro's from the stage when i clic on pay here is my code for the euro's the euro's are in a emty movieclip
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.
I have a scrollbar that attaches to a movieclip that I want to appear only on one page of my website.When I navitgate to another page, the scrollbar is still there.I would like it only to appear on one page and need either a button event or frame event to remove it when I navigate away from the page.[code]...
I 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:
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 ?
three nav buttons which add movieclips to the stage using the addChild method bascially each new movieclip should remove the last one present on the stage. My code so far which is not working is the following:-
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 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() at Function/<anonymous>()
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.
I have 3 movieclips on stage and what im trying to do is remove the movieclip when its clicked. the code i wrote is throwing this error.. "TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at hitTestPointEx2_fla::MainTimeline/itsclicked()" Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong..This is what i have so far..
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.
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,
I am attempting to push an object into an array based on its instance name on the stage...how do I do this?
On my stage I've simply made a box, turned it into a movie clip named "mcBox" and have given it an instance name of "box_mc" on the stage. Here is my current test code:
Code: var energy:Number = 0.75; var boxArray:Array = new Array; box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
[Code]....
Since the default amount of energy satisfies the if statement I push the movieClip into the array and then trace it. In my output I receive "[object MovieClip]"...is there anyway to distinguish it by its instance name?
I'm working with arrays again and i have a question for the smart I have an array with 10 references to a movie clip in my library and a timer that add one of these movie clips to the stage every second (Without removing them from the array). When the movie clips are added to the stage they will be touching another movie clip that has an instancename. I want to perform a hit test between the movie clip on the stage and the added movie clips from my array that will lead to some actions.
My question is: Is it possible to hit test the movieclips in the array with the movieclip on the stage with a few simple lines of code? I'd hate to have to give each of them an instance name. I know this is what classes are for but i really hoped i could avoide using them for this project ( stupid classes!) I'm looking for something like this in code: if any movieclip in my array hit test a specific movieclip on stage
What I am trying to achieve is to remove an array (containing a single MovieClip multiple times) from the stage alltogether, once you call an end public function. I can remove all the other Movieclips on stage (that are not in the array) using this.removechild(MyChild) The array is located in a package, calling another package where the MC is located, and put on stage with Event.ENTER_FRAME.
why i keep getting Parameter child must be non-null. And my code won't display 5 enemyBlock objects onto the stage but only just one.
returns: TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null. at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild() at flash.display::Stage/addChild()
I want to apply actions to a movieClip nested inside a dynamicly attached movieClip, with the attachMovie method; it doesn't works when the movieClip is attached by a button:
1.when the swf movie loads with an attachMovie method the remove_btn clears the window_mc
below shows how to add child in a movieclip. ebd.target.addChild(info_grd); there is button named my_btn inside the movieclip info_grd.I would like to remove movieclip info_grd.parent
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.
