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.

Weird thing: I have a file that seems to be dropping by almost 50% in file size for no apparent reason. I've got a CS3 file (AS2) that I've been editing in CS4, and trading back and forth with a designer who works in CS3. I've been saving using "Save as..." and selecting "Save as Flash CS3 Document" every time, in order to preserve the CS3 format. Someone noticed last week that the file size of all my versions up till recently had been in the 11MB range. But the most recent version (which involved a very minor code tweak that locked in the stage dimensions) was 5.8MB.
So I experimented. Seems if I save an earlier version of the file as a different name -- no changes, just open the file, save as a new name, and close -- the file size drops from 11MB to 5.8MB. If I save the previous version with the same file name (using "Save as..."), it retains the 11MB file size.
Below is my code, and the question is explained after it.

I'm working on a simple presentation website in flash that imports swf-banners onto the main page. This works, but I need a backgroundcolor and a border so the banners aren't seethrough. So I create another graphic element that puts itself underneath. All this works, but when I try to write a button to remove the "child" it only removes the imported swf (loader) but it can't remove the box underneath - even if I remove the loader-child completely. I get a "1120: Access of undefined property Kant." error
CODE for buttons & loading the swf:
stop();var Xpos:Number=10;var Ypos:Number=230;var swf:MovieClip;var loader:Loader = new Loader();

remove certain children of a MovieClip gamePage which I have added to the stage.. I have added a removeListeners Array loop to my validation button which should do this although children still remain.. I think I may not be targeting the movieclips correctly.. Here is my code (which works but throws Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.) it must be syntax related
function onValiderButtonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var persoArray:Array = [gamePage.a1, gamePage.a2, gamePage.a3, gamePage.a4, gamePage.a5];

I know there are forums posts across the web with answers to this question, but I have yet to solve my issue with any of them. I've been looking for over a week trying to figure out what's wrong with my swf file.
I have the parent (europe.swf) loading swf files on Mouse Click which loads the loader and adds the child... (netherlands.swf). That all works fine, then there is a button within netherlands.swf that has a dispatchEvent, which the parent swf receives fine, I've checked with a trace. But then when I tell the function of that dispatchEvent to removeChild I get this.[code]...

I'm trying to remove objects when they collide (these objects are all of the same MC and class and contained in the same array) At first the code works and objects are removed, but after the first two objects collide, I get the above error and from then onwards, the objects pass each other without accessing the collide function.
Currently I have a document.as file and an object.as file. My collision code in the document file is like so:

I am encountering a problem with removeChild with MouseEvent that drives me nuts since two weeks. I would like to add a child ("d_li.swf" which is a slide) when one button "li_120" is pushed and remove the same child when other buttons like "values_121" and "profile_301" are pushed.

I am doing a project in which I need to open and close MovieClips. I have my Scene1 which loads the first MC (named "page1") then page1 plays and I would like it to unload itself and load the MC named "Page2" and so on up to page 10 ...
On the last frame of the MC "page1" I have this code:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, animate2);
function animate2 (event:MouseEvent):void {
stage.removeChild(stage.getChildByName("clip1"));
var clip2:MovieClip = new page2();
addChild (clip2);
}
But all I get is this error message:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

I have a UILoader (called alleyLoader at the moment) on the stage that loads and scales an image. I want the user to be able to click on that image and have a pop up of the full scale image. Then, when they click on the full scale image, it disappears. I chose UILoaders because there will be quite a few images on scattered throughout the site and I don't want to have to call them all through code. Also, I figured it'd be easier to scale them. Most of the code is working, but I'm noticing a few odd things. [code]...
View 4 Repliesi try to program a little shooter game and right now i would like to implement a piece of code, which causes an enemy, as soon as it was killed, to explode. This explosion should then kill and remove all remaining enemies on the screen.
This code is embedded in a while loop, which checks bullets vs enemy collisions, which is on its part embedded in a timer function.
Of course i was looking this error up and it seems, as if i was trying to remove the displayobject enemy although it no longer exists, but unfortunately i can't really figure out what i did wrong.
I bolded the removeChild command which causes the error.
Code:
var avatarHasBeenHit:Boolean = false;
var enemyHasBeenHit:Boolean;var i:int = army.length - 1;
while ((i > -1))

I'm in the right place for this plea from yet another novice trying to learn AS3 in Flash with a couple of very good books but no one to talk to about it - and in danger of losing hair in the process.
My problem: I have a web site containing 8 pages. Each page is a separate movie clip, and each is in a Labeled frame. My intention is to have an overlay for each of the buttons in the top left panel of the home page. On the positive side I have managed to achieve the dynamic placement of an instance of a library movie clip called "sampleAR" via addChild to overlay on top of my home page. But I can't for the life of me get removeChild to rid me of the wretched thing again. My home page is in frame 1 of the movie labeled "Home". This contains a movie clip with the instance name "HomePage" on the stage. Inside the "HomePage" movie clip is my script sitting at the end where the movie stops in frame 44.
The code sits here because this is the only place I've managed to get any kind of result with the following code:

I'm slowly going through the Adobe "Classroom in a Book" on ActionScript. Every now and then the sample code includes what appears to be a property "e" as in "function doThis (e:mouseEvent)" or "var rbg:RadioButtonGroup = e.target as RadioButtonGroup;"
