I have a flash button that once clicked that adds an existing movie clip in my library to the stage. Basically what I am trying to achieve is like a popup window in flash so it opens a movieclip and then I have a close button inside the movieclip. Now what I want to achieve is to close the movieclip once I've added it to the stage.I'm trying to use the removechild but I'm getting errors e.g. The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()The way I add the movieclip to the stage is by using the following code:[code]
View 4 RepliesI created two children from my document class "MainClass". One (hero) is of the class "HeroDo" and another is from the class "canDy".
Code:
public static var hero:HeroDo=new HeroDo
public static var blue:canDy=new canDy[code]....
...
Now the simple thing I want to do is to remove the "blue" child from within a function of the "hero" child and the hero child to remove itself from "its inside".I tried this, but it gives me an error. :C

I have recently experienced problems with attempt to remove DisplayObjects that were placed at design time.I have some class "Locator" inherited from Sprite. Several instances of it are placed at the stage at design time.Locator constructor fills parent variables and tries to remove the instance itself from parent:
ActionScript Code:
public function Locator()
{
// give parent some important data
[code]....
All instances now process constructor, but only one of them processes event handler.
I have started learning AS3 after a long stint doing work on AS2, and to test my abilities, I decided to make a quick breakout game. It has gone fine so far until I get to the part where I need to remove the bricks when they are hit. My current code for the class of a Brick is attached, and is started when a Brick is minstantiated on the Stage. However, when I use:
parent.removeChild(this);
it makes the Brick invisible but the AS3 code still runs and the ball bounces off where the moveiclip of the Brick used to be; the eventListener for ENTER_FRAME I added still runs even though I have deleted the MovieClip. This doesn't work either:
this = null;
I have to say I don't like the whole Garbage Collection idea of AS3; it seems half-hearted and uncontrollable; being a .NET developer I am used to more control than this. What was wrong with "this.removeMovieClip();" and how can I correct this? My current swf: http:[url]....(there are other things wrong, like bad collision detection,
I have a .swf file being loaded with a very large amount of internal objects/childs/loaded-contents.
Been preparing a general cleanup method removing listeners, timers, tweens, children, sound, netstreams and so on. When i run the cleanup function with a simple internal button, all is performed perfectly.
But as soon as I load the .swf and unload it in a container .fla, then the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE which calls stopall() function doing the cleanup (in 2 steps), I get error

I have a flash code where i am loading an AS 2 SWF inside AS 3. The thing is if i put the AS 2 SWF on same domain its working fine but if i put AS 2 SWF on different domain it loads the SWF properly but the "stop()" written inside the AS 2 frame doesnt work... and it keeps on playing all the frames continuously...

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.
stop();

This is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.
I cant do 2 removeChild(); 's beneath eachotherSo their always will remain 1 child how can i delete that one?
addChild
removehild does work
removeChild

I have a website up at [URL]. The thing is that I have flv files being loaded by swfs that are loaded on a movieclip of a main swf. Locally everything works fine but as soon as I move it up the web or even try to run in over my home network, the flv files won't run. Can the flv run inside a swf that is loaded into another swf? I have set the paths to relative already, this taking into account the main swf!
Something like this:
loaded_swf_folder/flv_folder/flv_file.flv
If I didn't take the main swf into account it would look like this:
flv_folder/flv_file.flv
But I tried this already and it didn't work at all. Except if you run one of the loaded swf directly instead of through the main swf.
I have an AS3 swf which loads and external AS2 swf. Inside the AS2 swf i have the following code which fetches the flashvars passed through html.
flashpar.text = "Params: " + _level0.name;
When i run the AS2 SWF independently passing the param through HTML. It works fine.But when i load the AS2 swf inside AS3 swf. It is not able to fetch the flashvars, which is strange cz if i load the AS2 SWF inside another AS2 swf it works fine. how should i fetch the flashvars inside the loaded AS2 SWF.
I have loaded a SWF and attached to a MovieClip which exist in my current movie using the following code, and now I just want to access the loaded SWF to send it orders like play() or gotoAndPlay(); I have tried also: container= MocieClip(loader.content); instead adding child, but it trhows an error
View 10 RepliesI'm working with several videos each inside their own movieclips. When I click my forward button to jump to the next video I get the second video playing over the first one especially towards the end part of the first video. I can play and stop the movies just fine but it's the gotoAndPlay that's causing me problems right now with forwarding and rewinding clips.
Hope my explanation was clear cause I'm just starting out with AS3

View 1 RepliesI'm using loadMovie to load in an external SWF file. I'm looking to call a function called setText() inside of this swf. I can get to the function by doing this:

toolTip.loadMovie("ToolTip.swf");

how I can do this without an enterframe?
this website I'm designing loads swfs. inside one of these loaded swfs is a button that is supposed to remove the loader child from the stage and load a page in the main swf. How would I go about scripting that without using OOP? or is there a short external class I can create?

I have my MAIN FLASH WEBSITE that loads a PROFILE section which is a separate SWF file.Inside the profile.swf, I have the sub nav button 'experience' dynamically pulling a text file into my text box.If you view the 'profile.swf' file alone, the text is being pulled fine.However, If you view the MAIN FLASH WEBSITE, choose 'Profile' link, then 'Experience' Link. The text box DOES load the text, but you can't SEE it. You can tell it is loading the text files because the scroll bar becomes active, and I can cut and paste the invisible text into my notepad program.Why is my text invisible?Here is my Sub navigation code for the 'experience' button located on 'profile.swf':

Is there a way to call a function inside a loaded SWF file?
Basically, I have a .swf file (A) that loads another .swf file (B)...I would just like to treat B as if it was any other instance added to my class .swf "A"...
Have to recast "Loader" with the name of your .swf file class:
Loaded .swf class:
package src {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class LoadedSWF extends MovieClip {

Can I handle an event inside a loaded swf file(using swf loader) using MATE when my main application fires the event ? i want to make a remote service call based on the data i get from the main applications event , and then populate my loaded swf .
View 1 RepliesI am trying to access a button inside an external swf file that I loaded. Problem is every time I try to access this button I get an error saying that it's null!
Here is my code:
public class DocumentClass extends Sprite
{
public var loader:Loader;
public var swfFile:URLRequest;
[Code].....
Now this should work, code-wise I think its correct. The problem is that loader cant find the required button. There is indeed a button in the loaded movieClip with an instance name of "button", I double checked that.
[URL] basically i was just a layer too high and this is why i couldn't access anything..
So I am loading an SWF like this:
ActionScript Code:
public function layoutLoad(e:Event):void
{
FlashConnect.trace("Display.loadLayout()");
[Code].....
It will compile but I get a "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." So I am not targeting right. I did double check my instance name is correct and in the root of the loaded SWF
