ActionScript 3.0 :: Removechild After A Few Seconds?
Jun 15, 2010
I'm making a shooter, and I want the targets I shoot to show a death animation. After that, the object gets deleted from the stage.
How do I achieve this? I've read something about timerclasses but that seems way too much code for something simple like this, and I don't really understand how it works.
Right now, it's like this: [URL] And the code is like this:
Code:
function raken(e:MouseEvent){
var clickedMC:MovieClip = e.currentTarget as MovieClip;
clickedMC.gotoAndStop(2);

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'm getting a data which contains a certain number.
I need to find how many hours, minutes and seconds it stands for.
for example:
I'm getting the number 248 which means:
00 hours : 04 minutes : 08 seconds

When i use time varaible and then minus the time. Ive noticed that flash does not count down in seconds, but the speed of light. My maths are not very strong so how can i get flash to count in seconds
var time =60;
sprite.onEnterframe = function(){
time -=1; ( this counts faster than seconds)
}

I'm trying to figure out how I can make the sound file that I load into Flash start at x seconds and end at x+30 seconds.So basically, I just want a 30 second sample to play starting at a specific time position. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this or have links to somewhere I can read up on it?

I'm working with the youtube API and I'm getting the current time on the video as seconds.What I want to do is to convert them into this: MM:SS.I've tried to google and try different things by myself but nothing seemed to work and be efficient.

I am currently using the following code to display the secconds of a FLV being played:
ActionScript Code:time_txt.text = Math.round(_root.video_mc.videoZ.playheadTime*100)/100;I need to change this to display MM:SS (minutes:seconds) rather than just seconds and decimals.The javascript people here at work suggested something like this:
ActionScript Code:
function strPad(str, places, pad, side) {
while (length(str) < places) {

1) I want a 60 seconds video to start playing after 40 seconds have been downloaded - to do that I set the NetStream.bufferTime to 40 seconds and retrieve "NetStream.Buffer.Full" event causing the video to really start playing. This step is OK.
2) However, the "NetStream.Buffer.Full" causes data to stop downloading. So the remainder of the video begins to download no sooner than after the 40 seconds have been played. This step is my issue. Can anyone tell me how to avoid this unintended effect? (i.e. playing a video and downloading data at the same time?)

I'm trying to add a running timer to my flash movie. I've got it now so that it counts seconds (by comparing _currentframe with the frame rate), but I'd like to be able to express that in minutes:seconds.

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.

I've set up and button/movie clip array so that when a user clicks on a button, that movie clip loads and the old one goes away. What I'd like to do is use "addChild" to load the new movie clip and "removeChild" to remove the previous clip. I've got the addChild thing...sort of...it loads all the movie clips onto the screen at once though and I can't get the script to work another way.
Here's the code I've got:
var arrNavigation:Array = [{button:m1_mcButton, page:m1_mc},{button:m2_mcButton, page:m2_mc},{button:m3_mcButton, page:m3_mc},
{button:m4_mcButton, page:m4_mc}, {button:m5_mcButton, page:m5_mc},{button:m6_mcButton, page:m6_mc},

i have a quick question for you. Say i have a parent movieclip called "bob". Within "bob," i have another movieclip named "steve." within "steve," i have a bunch of other movieclips. Say i call removeChild(steve), from within bob. I know that will remove steve, but does that mean all the little movieclips within steve will be removed as well?

I have a MovieClip that loads other MovieClips. These I refer to as Galleries as they display some of my different web and art work. Each of these galleries has a close button (actually a MovieClip...) which works well enough. However I find that if I close a gallery and then re-open the same one, the close button refuses to do it's job again. The gallery remains open.
I'm pretty sure this is because I haven't used removeChild correctly. I knew I had a problem with this before, but thought I had solved it. Since, when the galleries close button is clicked, it plays a closing animation I couldn't figure how to add the removeChild for the MovieClip. This is what it looks like (including my commented out failure...)
ActionScript Code:
vectorGallery.close_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeVector);
function closeVector(e:MouseEvent):void{
vectorGallery.gotoAndPlay("close");
/*if (photoGallery.currentFrame == photoGallery.totalFrames){
removeChild(photoGallery);
}*/}
ActionScript Code:
this.parent.removeChild(this);
at the last frame of the gallery MovieClip.
But I think I'd rather do it correctly.
