i have created a colour picker that loads movieclips from the library onto the stage.however i need to create a "start over" button that will remove all these added clips.my code is as follows:
Code:
startover.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeallFunction);
function removeallFunction (event:MouseEvent):void

I am trying to hide an external loaded carousel on button click with the following AS[code]...
I can see the trace ""remove Carousel" but the Carousel.swf is still shown?
When i look in debug mode i can see the _root.holder, but it doesn't hide?
So I want to Unload a clip with a button placed in the loaded clip.
First I have this code for my preloader and movieclip loader:
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclL:Object = new Object();
mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target,loaded,total) {

I have created a multi-scene flash document. One of my buttons on the stage loads a movie clip from my library and has the following script:
on (press) {
this.attachMovie("help", "window", 1);
window._x = -300;
window._y = 200;
}
Works great. Then inside this movie clip, I have an invisible button with the following script:
on (press) {
startDrag(window);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}
This allows the movie clip that popped up to be draggable. This also works perfectly.
My problem is, the button will only attach the movie clip on the first scene. I currently have it loading in level 1. Does anyone know how I can work around this?
I am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

I have a shell swf that is loading a swf. How do you have the loaded swf tell the parent loader to unload itself after the loaded swf finishes playing?
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to unload, or remove a code in an action layer after it has been loaded and run in a timeline.
What I'm trying to accomplish is twofold, one, I'm trying to reload a code on a particular frame like it is on frame one, without playing the entire swf from frame one, and two I would like to possibly be able to change a mouse event on the same button from one thing to another along a timeline, which would require the initial function be removed so it does not conflict/error with the other event.
I have a button and i am trying to unload it but i dont know how.
I add the child as follows : addChild(buttons);
I try to remove it by : removeChild(buttons);
but this does not work, nothing happens.
I am trying to unload a class from memory using the following experiment:Create a shape on stage, make a movieclip out of it, add a trace in the first frame, extend the movieclip to be about 40 frames, give the movieclip a linkage name "test" and remove it fromstage.Experiment 1:Add the following code to the stage:ActionScript Code:var mcl = new test();Publish the movie. You should see the trace statement showing up all the time.Now I wish to delete this instance.Experiment 2:ActionScript Code:delete mcl;gives an error that it cannot delete a fixed property and have to set it to null instead.Experiment 3:
ActionScript Code:
mcl = null;
No error, but still see the repeating trace output.

i successfully managed to work out the loader script, and load a external swf file into my current project. Now that its working and all is well, i realised that only way to get back to 'main menu' was to close the whole thing. I tried to sort it out with a simple 'back' button but no success there. As mentioned in the title thats the options i found so far but cant seem to quite understand them tbh. I just want it to work so that I easily can manouvre back to 'main menu'.
View 2 RepliesI have been able to get the external swf files to load and unload from my holder mc no probs. Now I want to complicate things a little.
There are individual background images for each of the eight menu buttons. When a button is pressed I want the new background image to fade in over the top of the previous background image, unloading the old image once the new one has faded over it. Not unloading the bg image and leaving the screen blank and loading a new bg image.

I have a function called "CallSound" that load sound to a movie clip and play it.I want to create new function that remove/unload the sound from the movie clip, because I want to load another sound to me clip and dont want the the new sound will play with the old one.How can I create a function called removeSound() that remove the sound that loaded before
View 1 RepliesHere is the code that I am using for my button
on(release){
loadMovieNum("CG/images/houseGroups/1fs.swf", i);
i++;
}
And then on the first frame of the timeline I am putting i=10
So every time the button is clicked it keeps loading on top of the last. This all works fine. My question is: How do I unload all of the layers that have been loaded. It seems like it should be an unload i< but that does not work.
can a loaded movie unload itself, ive tried but nothing positive this is the thing, i have a sectiion tha i loaded, and i want a close button in that loaded movie, not in the actual main movie
View 3 RepliesI have a main movie which loads sections into an empty container MC from external SWFs. Each SWF contains a close button to close the section—but I can't get it to work. I am stuck. Anyone know which method to use in this case?This does not work:
Code:
// closeBox is just an MC sitting inside a section SWF
closeBox.onRelease = function():Void
{
removeMovieClip(this._parent);
};
I should add that the SWF gets loaded into the container in the main movie using MovieClipLoader upon release of a menu button.
I'm loading an external .swf files for my site.
ActionScript Code:
function whattoload( eye:Number){
var ld:Loader = new Loader()[code]............
This works perfect for loading the said .swf and displaying it on my flash program. However I have a next button which When clicked I want it to increment so that It picks a new swift from the array.
ActionScript Code:
var swiftI:Number = 0;
var maxI:Number = 3;[code]...........
This also works well for my desired effects. However I need to remove the previous loaded .swf before the next one is loaded. How do I do this?When I try to use removeChild(ld); It doesn't work.
I need to Automate the Page flip where the user has no control. Make it into an animation per say. I know it can be done. But I can't seem to figure out how. I can make just the first page. But I can't make it keep going. You guys know what I'm talking about right?[URL] Here's the code and notes...

Is there a way to automatically unload movies when a new movie is loaded? eg: 5 buttons, 5 bit of art. At the moment they overlap instead of unloading before the new one loads.
View 4 RepliesI am creating a 40 slide presentation with soundtracks, narration, and animations.Each slide is a separate swf clip).I have noticed that when I load a new clip, the previous clip is still loaded (I wasn't using any background so I could see through the first clip and see the second).This tells me that I should consider unloading the previous clip or use backgrounds.Putting on a background is easy however if I should want to unload the previous clip, how do I do that?Here is how I load the next clip:
mmBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadMM);function loadMM(event:MouseEvent):void {trace("Main Menu Button was Pressed")var loadMain:Loader;loadMain = new Loader();addChild(loadMain);loadMain.load(new URLRequest("mainMenu.swf")); }
Some slides will have many navigation options and others will only have one or two.I have AS in each slide to keep each slide self contained. This makes it easier for me to develop and test.Is there a way to remove the current slide contents (from the stage and memory) and load the next slide? I'm really concerned about the memory usage.

View 3 RepliesI came across a lesson on [URL]titled "Vertical 3D Carousel with AS3 and XML".
I completed the tutorial and all worked fine so I then wanted to load the swf into a existing project. The loading of the swf goes fine and when I unload my loader it is removed but only visually as in my output panel in flash CS5 I get an error as follows
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at carousel_c_fla::MainTimeline/moveCarousel()
this error repeats over and over again slowing my swf movie.
So does this mean my main flash movie trying to still play / find my unloaded 3D Carousel?
If so how do I unload remove all the AS3 that is trying to run from the 3D Carousel?
I have included the AS3 below from the tutorial page and I understand that this is what I have to remove to "break free" from the 3D Carousel swf when it is unloaded. This is where I am stuck as my knowledge of AS3 is limited

Flash CS4 is really good for design and development point of view. But I noticed two things:If library have more item then there is no option on right click "Select Unused Items". How can I get this option "Select Unused Items" on right Click while library have a more items with scrollbar?Some times the actions window's height increased. At this time there is no option to decrease the height of actions window except the Reset option.
