ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Specific Instances Of A Moveclip?
Mar 9, 2010
I have a sell function for my towers that when you select them and click the "Sell button" it removes the turret from the screen and stops it from firing. This all works fine.
But my problem comes when i have placed two of the same tower types on the screen at once. What happens is that it deletes everything and not just one tower like i want.
Ive thought about how i could do this and so far i have been unsuccessful in doing this.
deal with deleting a specific movie clip from the stage.
The code in question with dealing with making the Turrets is Below.
function makeTurret(xValue:int,yValue:int):void{
var turret:Turret = new Turret();
turret.x = xValue+12.5;
[Code].....

I have a flash file that counts and displays the number of images in a particular folder, that part appears to work fine. I require a reset button so that the alternate directory for the images can be tested as well. For this I need to delete all the instances of the loader I created for each image, but am unable to do so.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;

I have a problem in ActionScript 3 with a project where I am to output a bunch of data in a diagram and as pure text. This is not the problem, though. The problem is that when the user changes the type of data he wants shown. I would then remove the currently shown columns in the diagram, and add new ones. But my code removes ALL columns, so that there is no diagram at all!
I've done it all in Flash CS5, and the columns are instances of an object I made (a rectangle) which I just add to the stage. All the instances are added to the container "container." When I want to remove them, and add new ones I use:
var container = new Sprite(); // The container for my diagram
function emptyContainer() {
if (container.numChildren > 0) {
[Code]...
I wonder where to place my function for removing all children, to remove just those children that were added earlier. To matter where I place the function (at the start of fChange, at the beginning of each case) there is NO diagram shown, either new or old.

I have a MC called Enemy. It contains a monster that pops out at a random time (a timer with animation inside the MC). It stays on the stage for a few seconds and then hides again. If it hides, I want it to be removed and another enemy be added instead. All the monsters are instances of Enemy MC that are inside enemies[] array.[code]

I have a class, called fCont (I know, I should use capital letters for class names... oh well), and I need to remove all instances of it from my MovieClip.I'm making a Facebook browser for a uni assignment. When you go to the Friends page, it loads 15 friends, and that's fine. The code below is called on the "Next Page" button press.
Code:
function nextFriendsPage(e:Event){
var friendFace:Object = stage.getChildAt(0);

I'm trying to do a simple image gallery with a previous and next button. I have it working nicely with a little crossfade, however I know that I need to remove old instances of my class after they are done being used - I just don't know how to do it. Especially because I want to wait until the top image/instance is fully faded in before deleting the one below it and what if someone clicks the next/previous button before the image is fully faded in?
Here is my main movie:
[AS]
function nextImage(evt:Event):void{
currentImage ++;
currentImage = (currentImage < imageTotal) ? currentImage : 0;
addImage();
}function prevImage(evt:Event):void{

After a little break in AS3 I'm back... and facing a problem. For a school project I'm trying to make a side scroller game in which the player automatically moves right and has to avoid branches.Basically, depending on how well you do your speed (var) gets updated. After certain 'distance' (fake of course, as the player stays centered) I would like a n instance of Branch_MC to appear. Also, when that instance's x property reaches -20 I would like it removed.I'd need approximately 135 branches so creating variables isn't really an option.

Im creating a game. When the current game has finished, I thinking to do this:
removeChild(game)
game = null
then
game = new Game()
Doing this way, it automatically removes the games object instances? It automatically removes the games object instances events? That would be an easy way to restart the game, if yes for both questions.
Can I do like that, or I have to remove all objects and events manually?

I have several 1000 MovieClips (representing US counties and states) on the stage after the swf is loaded. Each MovieClip has a different instance name. Currently, a user can mouse over a county in NY, for example, and I only want the boundary for the the county highlighted. However, the state boundary is also highlighted as well.
I added this type of listener at the top:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, someFunction);
The problem is, it is applied to all MC instances on stage. Any suggestions on how to add the event listener to only specific MC instances? I thought I could add the event listener to the layer, but does not seemed to be working. And since I have several 1000 I don't think typing out mc_instance.addEventListener for every different mc is the correct way.

I cant get this working at all, I have a movieclip that when it gets to frame 22 I want it removed from stage. As it gets to this frame it increases a variable by 100 and when I have it invisible it keeps increasing the variable infinitely which I dont want. How do I completely remove the movieclip from the stage (it starts placed on the stage from my library).

I have 16 instances of the same movie clip. The movie clip is made up of 16 frames, each with the picture of a face on it. I want it to work such that when I click my button, each face only appears once, so that all 16 different faces are on the screen. I have been trying to use an array containing the numbers 1-16, and removing them as they are randomly selected. However, with the splice function, I can't pick and choose which number is removed.
How to I pick a random number from an array of 16 numbers, and then remove that specific number from the array so it can't be selected again?

I have an unordered ever-changing array that looks something like this:
12,23,1,4,11
I just want to basically tell the code to remove a specific item, let's say "23". But since the array is constantly changing length, I can't use splice.I also can't have any gaps, such as "12,,1,4,11". It must return "12,1,4,11".And on a related note, can I then check if this array has the same content of numbers as another array (and do I have to put them both in numeric order before it can perform the check, or doesn't it matter that they're not in the same order, as long as they have the same contents)?

I have been looking to see if it is possible to force an array's elements to only be instances of a specific class. Is it possible in AS? If not could the same result be achived with my own custom object?

add multiple instances of an object to the stage at different but not random points.
For example - I have a box that is linked to a class file. In the class file I have an "ADDED_TO_STAGE" event listener. The function that is called places the box at a certain position on the stage say.... x=100, y= 200.
In the document class I create an instance of it like so -
_box:box = new box();
addChild(_box);
Now what I want is to create multiple instances of box on the stage every 5 seconds. But I don't want them all to spawn at (100,200) on the stage. But here's the catch, I don't want them to be random spawns either.
for ex- I want the first instance of box to spawn on (100,200), then 5 seconds later, the second instance to spawn at (200, 800), the third at (100, 500) and so on.
Would it be possible for me to create objects on the stage to serve as reference points for where i want the instances to spawn instead of writing the exact co-ordinates?

I have loaded an external .swf file on to the stage with multiple movieClips in it. From the main timline of which I load this external .swf file, I am moving the movieclip(s) around the stage (with the commands of the arrow key). On the main timeline I have this:
function this_function() {
trace(mc_holder.village._x);
}[code]....
When I trace the village on the onEnterFrame function, I am successful in viewing the value/position of the village in the in the external .swf file. However, if 'this_occurs' and I tell it to use the function 'this_function', where I tell it to trace the village again, it doesn't recongize the movieClip, or village. Instead of giving me a value, it just gives me 'undefined'. So why is it that the 'this_function' can't locate the external .swf file village?

I have a movieclip - instance name "popup clock" . The frame on which it is on has the following code:
Code:
popupclock._visible = false;
The movieclip starts off invisible like it should. I also have a button which has the following code:
Code:
on (release) {
if (popupclock._visible=true) {[code]..
The code should allow the button to make the moveclip appear and disappear but it doesn't work?

I'm trying to create a movieclip that on mouseDown will decrease the volume by one as long as it is pressed.
I currently have a global variable called volPercent set to 100 initially and I have two buttons with the following code.
volumeup_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (volPercent != 100) {
volPercent += 1;
[Code].....
It works great but I need it to repeat the volume increase or decrease as long as it is pressed.
