I'm using CS4/AS3 and am swapping out swf files in a single holder from different buttons. The problem is that the child isn't getting removed when switching from button to button.Here's my code:
var Xpos:Number=0;
var Ypos:Number=150;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader=new Loader();

trying to make the close button work on this homework project. This app scatters photos on the stage, randomly and at random angles. They are drag and droppable and the clicked photo comes to the fore. Each photo has a close button intended to remove the photo from the stage, this last is what won't work. I know its a common topic, but nothing I've tried has worked so far. onClickCloseBtn is the problem.
Code:

import flash.display.*;[code]........
A loading bar for my portfolio website is not working at all. Although the same loading bar will work on other Flash projects.After doing some research I have found that loading in MovieClips from the library may be the cause of this. So instead of loading them in from the library, i am now loading them in externally but the problem still persists. how can i un-embed the font? [URL]
View 1 Repliesmy gotoAndPlay does not seem to be working. On frame 1 I have this for testing purposes:
trace("frame 1")
and on frame 2 I have:
gotoAndPlay(2);
and I get "frame 1" traced out continually. It's going back to frame 1 for some reason.
i am having some issues with the gettotalbytes function as flash wont take it as its function ( which generally show in BLUE COLOR ) so what i am trying to do is not working.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mymovieclip",this.getNe xtHighestDepth);
this.createTextField("textfield",this.getNextHighe stDepth,10,10,100,10);
if(mymovieclip.getTotalBytes()>0)

what could cause buttonMode to 'not' work properly?? the clip has MouseEvent listeners. I set the buttonMode to true. I have a trace statement inside the roll over event showing that buttonMode is set to true, but for some reason its not showing the hand cursor. the rollover,out, and click events fire as they should too..and i have other objects that work perfectly fine with buttonMode.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip that has the following code:
on (release) {
_root.rightMenu_mc.gotoAndStop("Animation");
}
It works fine the way it is but I read that it is better to use relatives paths rather than _root all the time but when I change it to _parent.rightMenu_mc.gotoAndStop("Animation"); it doesn't work anymore.
rotateToMouse works. Nothing else even gets as far as tracing. What gives?

I have a movie clip I am using to display a group of logos i created which are also movie clips. when the user clicks on each logo the logos are supposed to enlarge except, that because of the way the layers are stacked, one of the enlarged logos displays underneath the smaller one. so, someone suggested i use swapDepths. But nothing happens. it won't even enlarge. here's the script:
on (release) {
this.swapDepths("manard");
gotoAndPlay("oataup");
}
"oataup" is a frame label, obviously and "manard" is the name of the movie clip instance I'm trying to swap with. I've never used the swapDepths method before so I'm hoping I screwed something simple up.
I have one function that for some reason, isn't calling the next function. I've been looking over this code all day and I feel like it's probably going to be something really small and stupid but I jsut really need help at this point. The function that isn't working is showUsers().
This is my code:

I have a container mc called lightBoxCont that I load a class into
Code:
lbx.initLightBox(12, Number(slideIndex), urls, titleText);
lightBoxCont.addChild(lbx);
when the user clicks on a thumbnail the user can close the lightbox by clicking on a button like this
Code:
this.removeChild(lightBoxCont);
This all works (or seems to). If the user then clicks on another thumbnail the light box appears again, but the buttons don't work. These were added in the class lightbox.
Interestingly if I trace teh number of children that lbx has I find that each time the user presses on a thumbnail it goes up. First time its about 30, next time its about 60, next time its 90 and so on.I think this is causing the problem with the buttons not working.
I write code like this
ActionScript Code:
function onTehranClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
var mc1:History=new History();
var mc2:EnvironmentGeographycontent=new EnvironmentGeographycontent();
var mainSub:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
switch (e.currentTarget.name) {

I'm working on a pretty simple flash application which basically plays a music clip downloaded from a web URL, and makes a stick man dance. I have it all working fine, however, I've used the addChild function on the start button to add the mc onto the stage, however, when I applied the removeChild function to take it off again, I get an error telling me that it hasn't got a caller.Here's the script:[code]I've had my tutor look at it, and she can't work it out either, but I do get the feeling that she's not much wiser on Flash than I am.

I'd like to remove objects via removeChild after Tweenlite has finished tweening. But it doesn't really work because my objects are still in the DisplayList. I can't figure out the problem so I would be very happy if someone could help me out with this problem.
Code:
//TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0, onComplete:removeChild, onCompleteParams:[sndText]});//does not really work; still in DisplayList
TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0});

I'm working on a simple presentation website in flash that imports swf-banners onto the main page. This works, but I need a backgroundcolor and a border so the banners aren't seethrough. So I create another graphic element that puts itself underneath. All this works, but when I try to write a button to remove the "child" it only removes the imported swf (loader) but it can't remove the box underneath - even if I remove the loader-child completely. I get a "1120: Access of undefined property Kant." error
CODE for buttons & loading the swf:
stop();var Xpos:Number=10;var Ypos:Number=230;var swf:MovieClip;var loader:Loader = new Loader();

I am trying to remove a movieclip from my main timeline but it is not working. you click a button that is in a movieclip that is dynamically added to the stage and it is supposed to remove a movieclip from the main stage. I added a trace to see if it was grabbing the right movieclip and it is. The error message that I am getting is:

I'm creating one sprite named 'holder' and I'm adding childs to it. finally I use sp.source = "holder"; NOTE: scrollPane is in stage, having instance name = sp, holder is AS created.
this works very good, but I need to on button press refresh data on holder. So I want to complete remove holder, so my function can recreate it with new elements and then define scrollPane.source = "holder";
How can I do this?
var holder:Sprite = new sprite();
holder.name = "holder";
addChild(holder); // this adds holder to stage
//
// add elements to holder

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 have a simple catching game with objects falling from the top of the screen and when they are caught at the bottom I want a movieclip to appear with +5 to show the point scoring. I have set up a timer to show the mc then to delete it when it finishes. It all works apart from the mc will not disappear once the timer is finished. I have thrown a trace statement in to check that it is firing and that shows up fine. What the hell am I doing wrong? Here is the section of code:

I'm trying to make a basic mouesover and mouseout that will display a help/key box on the screen. I created the help box that will be displayed as a symbol called helpbox. I updated the linkage to export to Actionscript and called the class Helpme. The object I'm using to instantiate the Helpme class is a small graphic called helpcoast. I want the "helpbox" in the new class "Helpme" to be displayed only when the mouse is over the helpcoast graphic. When I test the movie and mouse over and mouse out of the graphic once, I get no errors, but if I mouse over it, then off it, then back over again, I get this error in the output box:
