ActionScript 3.0 :: RemoveChild - Load A Movie To The Stage And Wipe Out What Was On The Stage?
Jul 28, 2010
I have 4 movies that need to be loaded in sequence. The first movie loads the second one, the second one loads the third, then the third one loads the fourth. What I can't figure out is how to make sure there's only one movie loaded at any time. I've tried removeChildAt(0) and other methods. What's the best way to load a movie to the stage and wipe out what was on the stage?

I'm currently working on a script which depending on various factors will add different movie clips to the stage. When the factors change so do the movie clips. I know that I can use removeChild(myMC); 100 times and wipe the stage, so I was thinking it would be possible to add all the movie clips to an array and use removeChild(myArray); to get rid of them but I'm coming up with the compiler error: Code: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject. so obviously I'm missing something. Is this even possible? is there a more effective way to remove Movie Clips from the stage?

I'm trying to get my flash movie so that it pauses when the mouse is over the movie and continues when the mouse is not over the movie during certain segments of frames in my movie clip. So basically I need some code that executes this: if the mouse is over the stage between frame 25 and 45 pause the movie until the mouse leaves the stage or the next or back buttons are selected.

I'm making a mockup for a client and I need to Load the .swf with the exact stage size so the graphic elements do not float outside the loaded movies stage area. [URL]Basic load code I'm using...
Actionscript Code:
import flash.display.*;var adLoader1:Loader = new Loader();adLoader1.load(new URLRequest("100828_budlight_texas_fight_728x90_jn.swf"));adLoader1.x = 313;adLoader1.y = 162;addChild(adLoader1);var adLoader3:Loader = new Loader();adLoader3.load(new URLRequest("100828_budlight_texas_fight_300x615_jn.swf"));adLoader3.x = 738;adLoader3.y = 0;addChild(adLoader3);

I have a website with a homepage in which I have a movieclip called "menutopmc" which, as the name says, is a menu on top of the stage and it is an MC as instance. Inside this mc I have 5other mcs and each of them works as button.On the stage I have an other mc called "website" in which I load the several pages of the website.Here is some code to understand better what I'm doing:code on the main stage where I automatically load an swf when the website loads:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var websiteRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("azienda.swf");
[code]...
and here is the code I have inside the mc menutopmc in order to change the child previously loaded on the stage:
ActionScript Code:
function btn_content(eventObject:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).website.removeChild(websiteLoader);
[code]...
Now, the new addChild in the function btn_content works and it loads the new child on stage but the removeChild doesn't work and this is the error I get:
1120: Access of undefined property websiteLoader.

I'm working on a simple Flash game for school. In one level, multiple enemies spawn and the player is supposed to shoot them. I used removeChild() to get rid of the enemy that got shot, but when I click (hit) an enemy, everything on my stage gets removed; it goes completely blank.The function to populate my stage with enemies is the following:
private function Game2():void{
for (var i:uint=0; i<50; i++) {
var man:MovieClip = new man_mc();

I have several objects created at frame 2 of my fla file, like:
Code:
stop();
var rotatorek:Rotator = new Rotator();
addChild(rotatorek);
var rpm:engine = new engine();
addChild(rpm);
etc...
After endGame is changed to true within one of my .as files, I got this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at Rotator_fla::MainTimeline/ruszMaszyna()[Rotator_fla.MainTimeline::frame2:94]
Frame 94 is first removeChild(rotatorek).
Why I can't remove all those children? I need to go to frame 1 without any instanced objects and cleared listeners.

I have a parent swf that loads in 6 little swfs. However, I have a button which should remove the loaders from the stage, no matter which one it is from the 6. At the moment I can only remove one of them because of the way I have coded the application. So, when I click on the button which is supposed to remove whatever loader is currently sitting on top of my parent movie, it only removes one of the loaders - the one which is named first under my resetAssets function.
I can not have:
removeChild(ldr);
removeChild(ldr2);
removeChild(ldr3);
etc.
Because only one of them is being displayed at the time and flash goes like "hey dude! where are the others you want me to remove then!?" I suppose the whole code has been built up poorly and I should loop the swfs through one loader instead of having a loader for each swf.. Then I could just remove the loader no matter what sits in there..?
Code:
//imports
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("load_XML.swf");

I am using removeChild() to remove a MovieClip. And via tests, I can confirm that it's working fine ( stage.contains(mc) returns false ). But the MovieClip still does not seem to be removed, as if the stage is not updated correctly.

I'm working on a project which uses timline animation. The animated objects are involved in a collision detection script.
When they collide with other objects, their timelines are told to stop() and they're removed using removeChild. At this point they have a value of null (I've tested this.)
Strangely however, they invisibly re-instantiat themselves when the timeline animation loops back to frame 1. There's no code telling them to play anywhere in the program. They still have null values, but their collsion code still affects other objects.

I have drawn a pecked line route, sitting on its own layer, using flash tools, over a base map. I have then gone Insert>Symbol>movie and I now need to get a copy of this route into the movie's white area. I expected perhaps when right clicking on the layer, an option called copy to movie and an ability to select the movie name.

Im trying to load a movie using a button. I just want the button, when hit, to load an external .swf file inside the movie clip playing.
In AS1, (I never did learn AS2) this is what the button command said
on (release) {
loadMovieNum(�About.swf�, 0);
}
So how would this translate into AS3?

I'm creating a site and when a particular button in the navigation is clicked I want to load the corresponding "page" movie clip onto the stage and remove any other "page" that is currently loaded. I would also like to have a nice alpha fade between them. I've been searching around and can't find anything. I know this is simple like I need a loader container and I need to export for ActionScript the movie clips I want to load into the container.

If I removeChild an object from the stage can it still be detected by a hittest? I have objects that are tweening off the stage and if they hit other objects they stop their tween i use removeChild to remove objects that I don't want a hittest to occur on which is the nature of my question.

I have a removeChild and null question. I know removeChild removes my object from the stage but stays in memory until I call null on it. My question is, if I set the object to null, do I have to removeChild it at all? For example, I have a movieclip where I addChild lots of objects to it. So If I want to completely remove all traces of said movieclip and all its children, can I just set movieClip = null, or do I have to removeChild all its children and the movieclip itself beforehand.

I'm new to AS3 and have been making a Snake game. I've come up with a problem with the code (Yes, I have magically created problems trying to program Snake...It's going to be a long day). My problem is, with removeChild...I'm getting strange errors being throw at me. Not only that, but my Movieclip (myFood) is not being removed entirely, only the visuals of it are.
That being said, here is, what I believe to be, the most important chunk of code for this problem, along with the error it gives me.
Code:
/*
* Code for the Snake and whatnot extras.
* Also, Snake and Food are classes.
*/
var myFood:Food = new Food();
stage.addChild(myFood);
function snakeEatFood() {

I am trying to load an external image into a movie clip that is already on the Stage and size it to the movie clips size. The movie clip name is member_gallery with the width of 360 and the height of 251. One of the images i am trying to load into it is 1024 * 768. I would also like to load other images of different sizes into the same movie clip and they all change to 360 * 251 when loaded.
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(load){var container2:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container2", getNextHighestDepth());var mcLoader2:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();mcLoader2.addListener(this);mcLoader2.loadClip("http://www.gothics-r-us.com/chat/images/gru.jpg", container2);trace(this._width);trace(container2._xscale); container2._xscale = this._width / 10; container2._yscale = this._height / 10; //container2._height = 251;}

I'm trying to dynamically load multiple images to a Movie Clip on the stage. Where I am having trouble, is when I position different sized images one under another.
What I have done is, assign a variable for the position for the _y of the next image. eg. var spacing:Number = 0;
Since I'm loading the images from a XML file, I've included the height for each image aswell. This is where I am having trouble
eg. spacing += myxml.childNodes[i].childNodes; OR
spacing = spacing + myxml.childNodes[i].childNodes;
trace(spacing);
Say for example, the image I am loading is 400px high, 'spacing' then appears to be 0400 and not 400. After I load the second image, which is 500px high, spacing appears to be 0400500 and not 900.

I have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following
[Code]....
I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.
