ActionScript 3.0 :: RemoveChild On Stage From MC?
May 29, 2010
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 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 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");

So, I have a file where I've added 27 movie clips to the stage using a for loop to cycle through items in an XML document. Here's the pertinent part of the code I'm using, it's AS3:
So, I end up with 27 instances of mini_mc, each named 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
I'm trying to write code to remove them at a certain point in the movie but having problems. Here's what I'm using[code]...

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.

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() {

New to flash as3, cant seem to get past a 2025 error when remove child is used. My player hits of an object called present_mc2 and is removed but an error comes up on stage.
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

stage.addChild(present2_mc);
present2_mc.x=87;
present2_mc.y=305;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, detecthit);
function detecthit(event:Event):void {{
removeChild(present_mc);
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, detecthit);

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 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.

I've created a MovieClip that opens other MovieClips. These MovieClips are galleries with example of my art and such. Within these gallery MovieClips there is a "close" button, which is actually another MovieClip.
the problem
Everything works except that when I open one gallery, then close it, then open it a second time, the "close" button refuses to work.
I thought this was do to my incorrect use of removeChild, but now I don't know.
This is made slightly tougher by the fact that closing the gallery involves playing a closing animation, so first I put the removeChild on the last frame of the gallery MovieClip. That had the same result so then I tried it this way.[code]...

I can't upload the file here because it is too big but I will post the code and a tutorial link plus the problem I've been having.
What the code does is, it gets an image and places it on your stage. This image you place there is reduced in size and when you click on it, it creates a magnifying glass effect.
It works like a charm and looks very cool but the problem is that when I want to go to another page of my presentation, the image stays there, this is because of the addChild function I'm guessing.
Once again, no problem, I just added this to the AS code of every page : removeChild.
You've probably already guessed it, this only works when the child has already been placed. If I go to my intro page and I place the code there it will give me an error since the intro comes before the gallery code. If I don't put the code there it only works if the gallery has already been loaded and I click on pages that come after the gallery.
So what I actually need is code that detects if the child has been loaded or not and if it has, it should be removed, if not, don't do anything.
U can find all the code underneath, it's quite a lot.

I'm trying to figure out why I can't remove the child of the meteors immediately after they have hit the planet or a building so that it would only damage the building once. When I try to just 'removeChild(meteorArray[k])' AS says that the 'object must be a child of the caller'. I'm not sure what that means, but I thought that the meteor was the child of the main document class.

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.
