ActionScript 3.0 :: RemoveChild When Child Is Type Class
Jul 23, 2009
I'm working on a game where I'm adding a symbol (an enemy unit) from the Library via addChild() to an instance on the Stage. The symbol has Linkage/Class enabled so I can stick stat variables directly on it for easy access.The problem is that I want to use the same name for enemies (like en0, en1) in different areas, but if I try to removeChild(), I get Error 1067: Implicit coercion of type Class to type DisplayObject.

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.[code]Sprite2 is a rectangle. When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.
When Sprite2 is NOT rotated:
Code:
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 250.
SpriteP.removeChild(Sprite2)
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 200. -> works, 200 is good.
When Sprite2 is rotated at 90:

And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200. But if I rotate Sprite2, the Parent won't update its bounds.

I am creating a selection of checkboxes that are supplied from XML. These checkboxes are to provide additional details to a background picture and therefore they each have a unique name and an eventlistener to add the extra details to the background picture. Depending on other buttons clicked on the stage, the list of checkboxes could change for the same background picture. I have a selection of 5 different background pictures all of which have a different list of checkboxes. I therefore want to load the checkboxes dynamically. When a button is clicked to change the background picture, I want to remove all the checkboxes associated with that picture and display a new set for the new picture.

I have a DisplayObject, called myView nested in a DisplayObjectContainer called myContainer. myView is the only child of myContainer.I add a REMOVED_FROM_STAGE EventListener to myView, and call myContainer.removeChild(myView). The onRemovedFromStage Event fires for myView when it's removed from the stage, HOWEVER, myContainer still has a reference to it as a child on its display list! myContainer numChildren is still 1, and that child is still registered as myView!!! what circumstances this could be happening? I realize that there may be a reference to it somewhere causing this strangeness, but if the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event has fired, shouldn't it follow that myView has been removed from myContainer?

if you view my project you will see that it is a drag and drop application. You will also see two buttons at the bottom (I plan on adding more), when you click on a box it will add more objects to the menu. Heres where my question comes in, the box then says remove on it, I want the items that were added by clicking on the box to be removed as well as items added to the stage when you click on that same box again, how do I do this?

So for instance, I've got three .as files called 'Helicopter.as, Game.as, Blue.as'
and I also have a .fla file called Helicopter.fla (These files are all suppose to link together, to make the helicopter game) . In the Game.as file, I have the following;
[Code]....
Flash doesn't recognise the original Helicopter symbol (in the Helicopter.fla file, because I deleted it). But I want the system to detect the 'circle' drawn using API (In the Helicopter.as file). And I have no idea how to how to name the API drawn circle 'Helicopter', thus I'm getting an error. So how do I name the API circle to 'Helicopter', so the Game.as file recognises it.

I have an external class added to the document when a menu is opened. When the menu is closed the function is removed.
But then the document tries to run onEnter function of the class, which references stage and I get the null error. How should I set it up so the document doesn't run the class after removeChild()?

I created two children from my document class "MainClass". One (hero) is of the class "HeroDo" and another is from the class "canDy".
Code:
public static var hero:HeroDo=new HeroDo
public static var blue:canDy=new canDy[code]....

Now the simple thing I want to do is to remove the "blue" child from within a function of the "hero" child and the hero child to remove itself from "its inside".I tried this, but it gives me an error. :C

I wanted to create a class that you send a display object to and it tweens out (lets just say fades out for now), and then removes it from it's parent, and nulls it. So this is what I came up with:
Code:
package com.TweenOut{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
[code]...
but, i'm getting this error.. TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.Pages:esignPage@2786f9d1 to com.TweenOut.TweenKill.So, obviously it can't convert _livePage.. but.. am I misunderstanding the error, is it trying to convert it to com.TweenOut.TweenKill, or is it just not able to convert it to a DisplayObject like I assume??
Also, I should note that _livePage is a subclass of a custom class I wrote, and that class is a subclass of MovieClip.. Doesn't that mean that _livePage would be a DisplayObject? Does this have to do with calling the super() in either of those super classes?
I'm making great headway into understanding all of this as3 stuff, but some things still get me. I'm having trouble understanding the big picture, I feel like there has to be a better way to handle "page changes" or "section changes". For instance, am I doing it a weird way by making a class that tweens out anything I send to it? Should I just be doing the tween and removal inside the class that the DisplayObject is a child of?

I created an flv video player using Flash Builder 4. This "BasicVideoPlayer" project is compiled into a SWC that will be eventually be used to create other video players that extend the functionality. One of the features is a view that appears when the video has finished playing that displays a "Play Again" button. This "Play Again" view has its own class, "BasicPlayAgain", that accepts a graphic asset that is exported from a .fla file that contains all of the graphic/UI assets.
In my new project, "EnhancedVideoPlayer", I'm using the BasicVideoPlayer SWC as a library to create a new video player that will add more functionality to the "Play Again" view; specifically it will add more buttons to that view.The EnhancedVideoPlayer uses a default class that extends the BasicVideoPlayer class. The BasicVideoPlayer class has a member called "playAgainScreen" whose type is BasicPlayAgain. The EnhancedVideoPlayer needs to override the playAgain member and recast it as EnhancedPlayAgain so it can control the new buttons properly.

I realize this is kind of an odd issue, but I am wondering if there's any way to get Flash to allow me to access a class's static functions using a class variable that points to the class. Example:I create a class called FooClass that has a static function named fooI then create a variable of type Class that points to it
Code:
var class:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("FooClass"));
However, when I try to call foo() using the variable, it errors saying the function

so here goes the description of what i'm (trying) to make : i want to make a slideshow with AS 3, it will load external image which the location will be written in xml after it has load all the image it will play by itself and change beetwen image with transition.. well i manage to : read the xml, load the picture one by one and convert it into a bitmap tipeafter convert it to a bitmap tipe data i save it into an arrayafter all the image has been laoded , converted into bitmap and saved into array to display the image itself i first add the the image which has been save into the array to the container that i specially made to hold this (well actually because transition manager can only have effect on MovieClip).
myMCContainer.addChild(myImageArray[imageIndex]); that's how i display it (of course i have added "myMCContainer to the stage").
well the real problem is when i tried to use remove child fo myMCContainer it give me error #2025, and when i tried to check number of child that myMCContainer has it returned 0 even after adding the image...

I have used AS2 for a while but the movie gets very slow when thousands of objects on the stage. I would like to turn to AS3 for better performance. My basic symbol is a MC consists of a button and a text field. Can I change it from Movie Clip to Sprite? I read a document that says "Sprites serve as containers that can be filled with shapes, images or text. "... Could someone tell me if the Sprite can also be the container for button?

I am using loader to load an image "1.jpg" in the constructor.Using a timer, after 5 seconds I want to remove the child and then reload another image however removeChild doesn't work, neither does getChildIndex. In the constructor I can call getChildIndex and it outputs 1, however in the Timerevent function it seems that I cannot get access to the my_loader created in the constructor.
However from the Timerevent function I do have access to the variable test that I created in the constructor. Why is it that I can access test, but not my_loader and how can I fix this so I can get the reference to my_loader within the Timerevent function? I tried moving the loader outside of the constructor but then I get a message saying that my_loader is undefined for the line "my_loader.load(new URLRequest("1.jpg"));"[code]...
