I am loading in a swf into my file, via the loader class. When I remove this child .. does all the swf remain in the memory, or is it discarded? I want to remove it entirely ..
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.load("thisMovie.swf");
addChild(myLoader);[code]....
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();
[code].....
I was wondering if you remove a child with "removeChild" if it removes everything what was in the movieClip.I doesn't remove listeners automatically (right?). But does it remove bitmapData (from the memory) for example? Because I don't want to remove all bitmaps with the Dispose.Does it help if I initialize the garbage collector: "System.gc();".It does help with removing listeners automatically, but what about other things?On the adobe website about the GC.But it says:For the Flash Player debugger version and AIR applications only.But does this mean that if I play the SWF outside of Flash this GC doesn't do anything?
View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 6 RepliesI have a main class that calls and removes screens with addChild and removeChild, these screens are movie clips.My issue lies in these movie clips, each clip is linked to a class - e.g. confidence.as links to my confidence screen.I am trying to add buttons and pieces of text from this class file onto the confidence screen, so essentially adding more movieclips on top of a movieclip that has already been added. I keep getting this error:TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.I could do with some help figuring out how to add objects to my screens, as I am trying to prevent having everything in one class.

clip.removeChild(clip.getChildAt(0));
completely remove the child of clip at 0 index? I read somewhere you should set to null to all the references to that clip, but I have no other reference in my code. The clip at 0 was added via a regular addChild().
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 have an FPS monitor running and notice that I am getting choppiness here and there, bringing my game from 40 to 27 fps and back and forth at certain stages. I have an idea of where it is happening, but do not know for sure. I looked up quite a few memory monitors but haven't found anything decent yet. Is there a memory monitor that allows you to see the memory leaked and find its location? If not, how about just he memory leaked?

I'm new here, so let's introduce myself at first: My name is Bram, I live in Holland. I am 16 years old and currently working on a little project for school. In the project you can click on stuff, and that loads an external SWF. Here is how I did that:
[Code]...
Okay. That all works, but now I want to make a button that removes the external SWF (and brings you back to the original SWF). how to do that? If you need my FLA, tell me; i'll upload it. PS: I did use search, but couldn't find anything.
With the following code, everything works as expected, and I retain both the default namespace, and the xsi namespace in the trace printout.
var tempData = <objects xmlns="http://www.spicefactory.org/parsley" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

My problem is as follows, I can create as many movie clips from on function as I wish, but as soon as I try and do two different functions - it messes up for some reason :S
Basically with my game, it is required for me to create these movieclips every so often. Because of this I created a re-usable function to do the creating:
ActionScript Code:
function create_note1() {
note1num++;
[Code].....
As you can see there are four different functions, and there are only 4 different movieclips that are added to the stage.
My problem is like this: I can call a single note (like create_note1();) as many times as I want without any problems, but If I try create_note1(); and create_note2(); It will remove note 1 and keep only note 2 on the screen. The problem really stumps me though, because if I called something like this: create_note1();, create_note2();, create_note4(); I may have notes 1 & 4 going down the screen and note 2 will have disappeared.
im using flash text engine to display text and i noticed it removes all whitespces at the end of a string.
e.g if i set a textblock text "a random line ", it is displayed as "a random line" but if i add a . at the end of the spaces it is displayed correctly "a random line ."
whats causing it...and how to display them correctly escape() and unescape wont change anything
I'm trying to create a button that, when first clicked, will add a MC to the stage. Then, on the second and subsequent clicks will remove the existing MC and replace it with a new one. The code I'm using is:

draw1.useHandCursor = true;

Is there a better way to handle this than what I have above?
public function doAddItem(itemConcepto:int):void{
modalCfd = new modalCFDItems();
modalCfd.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, closeHandler);
modalCfd.addEventListener("addItemResult", addItem_resultHandler);
modalCfd.addEventListener("addItemResize", addItemResize_resultHandler);
[Code] .....
Does that do it, or do I have to removeEventListener explicitly?
I have a set of 5 TextFields that a user enters info into. Each has the same TextFormat applied. If the focus is set by clicking with the mouse, the TextFormat is applied and all is well. If the focus is set by tabbing, the TextFormat is not applied and a default style for the font is seen. Here's my code:
Code:
var input1:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(input1)[code]...................
ok so i have this function basically it adds text to a given position in a textfield. it adds the text in the correct position but the problem is that it is screwing with the formatting i've applied to the textfield.
here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
txt.text = "hello world";
// adds text at the character index specified and returns the new string.
function addText(txt:TextField, txtToAdd:String, index:Number):String{
[Code].....
i also have a function which deletes but that isn't important right now. i was trying to avoid using html text but at this point i'd willing to give virtually anything a try.
So this is my beef, I use loadMovieNum("flat/1st.swf", 20); , then in frame 50, I added unloadMovieNum(20); . The external 1st.swf disappears, but where my buttons where in 1st.swf, are still active, even though you can't see them. So how do I completely remove an external swf, without being active, even though u can't see it?

View 2 RepliesI'm wondering if there is a better way to approach this than my current solution...
I have a list of items, I then retrieve another list of items. I need to compare the two lists and come up with a list of items that are existing (for update), a list that are not existing in the new list (for removal) and a list of items that are not existing in the old list (for adding).
Here is what I'm doing now - basically creating a lookup object for testing if an item exists.

I am new to AS3 and only recently have been able to understand the display list.I am trying to run this code in my file.I made two movie clips in my library. Gave them class name as "One" and "Two"Now, this is the code that I run:

View 2 RepliesI'm getting rather disgruntled with Flash's contradictory statements. I just need someone to clarify one thing for me; is it true that if you apply removeMovieClip to a movieClip instance, it also removes all of its duplicate instances? When I try to apply this principle, for some bizarre reason, it only just deletes the original instance and NOT any of its duplicates:

Does removeEventListener removes all objects inside it completely?or we need to seperately equate objects to null
