I have a website that I am loading two external swf into my main movie... using addChild ... I am successfully removing "gallery.swf" addChild(loader2) when I select about, contact, and or my artects button(s) however I am unable to unload "artects.swf" addChild(loaderc) when I select about or contact button(s) but it does get removed when I select portfolio button..
Here is the script:
//var fade:Tween;
//makes hand cursor enabled for buttons
aboutBtn.buttonMode=true;
aboutBtn.useHandCursor=true;
portBtn.buttonMode=true;
portBtn.useHandCursor=true;

I'm working on a project that is like a jigsaw puzzle. The use can select from a few different puzzles that have different piece arrangements. Once the puzzle swf file is loaded, the user can select images from a gallery to place in the pieces to make a custom puzzle where the puzzle piece movie clip that was selected masks the image that was selected.
So the puzzle swf loads fine and I add it to the stage with:
addChild(puzzle);
The jpegs also load and get masked correctly. When I add the jpeg image, I add it to the puzzle object and the addChild looks like this:
puzzle.addChild(imageJPEGLoader);
imageJPEGLoader.load(new URLRequest(imageJPEGName));
imageJPEGLoader.x = 0;
imageJPEGLoader.y = 0;
[Code].....
I think I'm obviously not understanding the parent/child relationship fully. I thought if imageJPEGLoader was inside puzzle, that the dot syntax would get me to the object I needed. Everything works fine in this file except for putting a new jpeg on a piece that already had a jpeg masked.
You have two arrays, both containing a different set of movieclips. You drag a movieclip form one array, in to one movieclip of the other array. You can do that as many times as you like. So in fact, the movieclips in the second array are all droptargets. The thing is, I have one erase button which should erase all the movieclips from the first array only when they are dropped on the droptargets from the second array. In other words.. how do I remove the content of the droptargets without removing all the droptargets as well?

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.

View 4 RepliesI'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});
TweenLite.to(musicText, .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();

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:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

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:

im having troubles unloading a swf file that is 2 levels above my main movie.Basically I have a main movie and I have actionscript on the timeline which corresponds to a button which loads a swf (eg my web portfolio work):
digitalbut.onRelease = function() {
disableBtns();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
[code]...
This all works....Then in this swf I have another button which again loads another swf on top to show a particular piece of work and the code on the timeline to correspond to the button is:
Dior_hit.onRelease = function() {
createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
loadMovie("Digital/Dior/Dior.swf","container");
[code]...
This works also....but I come into problems when I want to create a button in this third swf file which then closes this Dior.swf so you are left with the bottom two still showing. I already have a close button on the Digital.swf which works a charm to get you back to the main movie and the code for this is:
on (release) {
_root.container.unloadMovie()
unloadMovieNum(2);
[code]...
how I can close this third swf to still show the two below?? I have tried so many options but none seem to work!
I'm having trouble on a project: I have a main movie that loads other according to theframe. In each frame I put the following code:
var loader:Loader=new Loader();loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,f);loader.load(new URLRequest("file#.swf"));addChild(loader); function f(e:Event):void{loader.scaleX=0.50;loader.scaleY=0.50;}
The problem is that when I load the next movie, an overlay happens. Therefore need to unload the swf that is playing and then load the other. I've tried a lot of stuff (unload /unloadAndStop / removeChild) but does not work.
I wonder why the following code doesnt work using _level1.unloadMovie() nor even unloadMovie(_level1);[code]
I could be doing something wrong but I cud not figure it out so I created an empty movie clip on the level where I want to remove the movie.

View 13 RepliesI'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.

For some reason I am unable to create a FLV file from a MP4 file with high bitrate. I even created a custom setting and specified bitrate as 2500 but the output file is always around 775.
