ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Child From Stage When New Button Clicked?
Jan 13, 2010
I have an image map with hotspots that animate when clicked and bring up info onto the stage. My problem today is how to stop the animation and remove the info on one button when a second button is clicked. The info is intended to appear in a space to the side of the image map.MY code works apart from it throws up an error when user clicks on the hotspot.[coder]I'm pretty sure that there is a more elegant way of doing this, particularly as there will be ten buttons overall.[Code].....

loader.load(urlRequest);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);

I've got an MOUSE_DOWN listener on the stage (it's a rough drawing tool thing) and I've also got a bunch of other buttons on the stage with MouseEvent.CLICKs on them. The problem is that the stage.MOUSE_DOWN still gets called when the buttons are pressed. Is there a simple way to stop that happening or do I just have to deal with having a boolean set and unset that blocks the code in the stage.MOUSE_DOWN event function?

In CS5, I want to have a frame with buttons that when clicked, reveal different graphic symbols or movie clips (I'm not sure what to use?). The symbols will reveal text information and graphics, and might fade in when clicked, though will not move or do anything else.
1. Is it better to make these text and graphcis into movie clips or graphic symbols?
2. How do they get hidden on the stage until a user clicks on a button to reveal it?
3. Using Code snippets, which option will make this work?

I have made a tween for a button, on a roll over the button pops down and goes back up on roll out.When the button is clicked it tweens into the middle of the stage, and then onCloseClick the button goes back up.
However when i add the onClick4 event listener back, inside the onCloseClick the function I can no longer click the button when it goes back up. Can you figure this out?

What i want to happen seems quite simple yet i keep getting the error "access of undefined property" when what i'm trying to remove is in fact defined in the same class but it obviously cannot gain access to it.
I want to remove a MovieClip from the stage once a button has been clicked.The MovieClip is created in the same class as my button function i created. The button works fine but whatever i try to put within the function to remove the MovieClip cause the error i mentioned at the start.

I have 5 movieClip buttons. I want the GALLERY button to stay on the stage at all times, "which it does" but i want when the user clicks on 1 of the other 4 buttons for the remaining 3 to disappear. Example... when the user clicks on the KIDS button, the COUPLES, PORTRAITS AND BELLIES buttons disappear, or when the user clicks on COUPLES, for the KIDS, PORTRAITS AND BELLIES buttons to disappear, and so on.

I want to create a flash site where I have a long horizontal movie clip split into about five sections, each about 960px wide. The effect I want to achieve is when the user clicks on the button it will scroll horizontally to the specific section of the flash project. For example, if your on the home page and you click on the contact the movieclip will tween to the right until it reached the contact section of the long movieclip. And I also want it where if the user clicks on the home it'll scroll back to the home page. I can't seem to accomplish. I tried positioning with the x property and move right so many pixels. I'm thinking about setting like some coordinates or some kinds of reference points so when the button is clicked it will go to those specific points in the stage.

how to remove a mc when another mc is clicked. [URL] The movie clips are pages and if you check the link you will see the pages aren't removed they simply stay on the page when the new mc appears. This is the relevant part of the .as which appears to have a remove code but doesn't seem to take affect.

I have a game where i add some cartoonish ants, that when they are clicked, they need to be removed from stage. There are 4 differend kinds of ants, so im doing a Math.random for picking which one to add. (ant 1+2+3 have 50% chance to spawn and 4th 50%) rnd_nbr = (Math.random() * 5)+1;
I have a timer doing 10 tick, and i reset the timer to make neverending. Then i have a math random and if sentences adding mc' to the stage with movement from Tweener, and event listeners for clicks. But i cant figure out how to remove them when clicked. I have done alot of failed tries right inside the click_candy_anty function. I've left them commented out.

I've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

I have 36 images in a movie clip. Inside of that movie clip there are 36 other movie clips containing one separate image. I have figured out how to click on them and add it to the stage. But I can figure out how to get them to remove when another image is clicked. (ex. I click on image 1 it will appear on stage but when I click image 2 it show image 2 on top of image 1.) the thing is I don't want to have to click on the images in order. If any image is clicked the one showing on stage will automatically disappear.

I've been trying to convert and AS2 project to AS3. I've been able to load all the static items from the library and been able to get the buttons to load different text. However when I select a previously clicked button it doesn't remove the old text. here's a section of the code.
ActionScript Code:
//Add the FactFind button
var factFind_btn:factFind = new factFind();
addChild(factFind_btn);

However, either I'm declaring my variables at the wrong bit/way or there is another problem, as I have been able to add the child I want to from the display list (sidepoint: is it right to call the display list everything in the library on stage at runtime plus those things you have exported for actionscript usage??!)...but when I want to remove it at the next cuepoint nothing happens. I feel this is a basic principle that is alluding me here.
Code:
vid.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cueText);
function cueText(e:MetadataEvent): void{

Here it is:
var ZombieInstanceTimerL:Timer = new Timer(8000,60);
ZombieInstanceTimerL.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, ZombieTimerLfunction);
ZombieInstanceTimerL.start();
[Code]....
Basicly im first setting a timer of 8 seconds for a zombie to sprawn then it sets the properties and then using the addChild method it adds the zombie every 8 seconds. then i made the zombie move but as if it hits the character i make it stop and go to the attacking scene which is frame 4 and then when it isnt hitting it, it goes back to frame 2 which is walking,, then i made a Zombie death code which works by in the zombie attack class it has hittests for all the weapons and it reduces a varible in a GlobalVaribles class the varible is called ZombieHP and here it says if ZombieHP is below 1 it should go to 3 which is the death scene and add a point to the score but the hp and gotoAndStop affects all of the zombies so when it hits one they all die how can i make it so only the one its hitting can be affected..

I have an app that has 3 movie clips, serving as buttons (mainbutton[0], mainbutton[1], etc) I use the addchild method to add these clips to the stage (the clip base element is in my library).I then create an empty movie clip:
var navGroup:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
I then add some movie clips to this clip: using a for loop:
for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
navGroup.addChild(mc[i]);
}
[code]....
When I click the button on the stage - the code with the for loop runs, and adds clips to the navGroup clip, and then to the main button. But the stage and the items on the stage shift down a few pixels. This happens on the first button I click. If I click some other button, the stage shifts up (with the items etc.), but if I click the last button, no shift occurs. If I go back to the first button I clicked, the stage will shift down!
I traced the coordinates for the stage and the buttons, but their numbers all stay the same, like x = 0, y = 0, etc.The items in my library all are movie clips, with a 0,0 reference point. The three main buttons are on the stage at x=16, and y = the height of the button plus 10 pixels for space between them, added to the first button's y pos on the stage. like button1, x=16, y=100 and the height is 32 pixels.

I've run into a problem when trying to move one of my sprites from the stage when it dies.So far what I'm having to do is call the Death method from the main class, which then goes to the Enemy Class in order to play the animation, once the animation has reached the last frame an event is triggered which is situated in the main frame which then removes the now dead enemy from the stage. However it doesn't appear to be able to target the child which I want removed =/Main Class:
Code:
private function hitCheck(e:Event = null):void{
var samuraiPos:Number = SamuraiChar.samuraiPos();

Have a rather bizarre issue with Flex throwing an error when teh application is running in the background. I use Selenium and SeleniumFlexApi to run various tests against my app. If the browser window is in the foreground or any part of it is visible to teh screen, the test pass as expected. However, if the window is in the background and not visible, I am getting the following error in 1 part of my app.
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. I have a VBOX that creates a number of children and then upon creationComplete(or UpdateComplete, I've tried both) it then needs to remove any of the children that are not visible. Each child has a listener for CreationComplete which checks if the child is visible and if not, adds it to an array which is iterated over when the parent UpdateComplete is fired. I cant seem to find any reason for this behavior and am curious if its an issue with the Flex Component LifeCycle.

I have these lines of code on frame 55 on the Main Timeline that generates the contact Form :
ActionScript Code:
import com.warmforestflash.ContactForm;
var contactForm:ContactForm = new ContactForm();
contactForm.x = -200;
[Code].....
My problem is, that I want the contact Form to be deleted everytime I change the frame means --> everytime I go to another subpage of the homepage.
So I would need a script to check for instances of the contact Form class on every subpage-frame and to delete them if present.
