ActionScript 3.0 :: When To Remove Child - Sprite To Stay On The Stage Until One Of Two
Dec 16, 2008
I have a map with various regions as movieclips. When you mouse over a region, a sprite appears containing xml data. Among this data is a hyperlink. I want the sprite to stay on the stage until one of two
things happens:
- you mouseout of the sprite
- you go to a new region
That seems to be the problem. I've successfully coded the program to remove the child if you mouseout of the sprite. But if you go to a new region, it makes a new sprite and now you have two sprites with xml data on the stage! If I remove the child when you mouseout of the region, then the sprite won't stay on the stage for you to click the hyperlink. How can I make the sprite stay on the stage until:
- you mouseout of the sprite
- you mouseout of the region IF you aren't on the sprite

I'm trying to have a bullet Sprite remove itself from the stage once it is off the stage, but Flash keeps throwing #1009 errors at me. I've looked over the code several times and don't understand what's wrong.
Bullet code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
public class Bullet extends Sprite {
private var bullet_direction;
[Code] .....
Error message:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I created movie clips that I want to add to the stage (from the library) by the use of buttons. I have a total of six buttons (and six moviclips) but I am trying to get the first two to work before I move on to the next buttons. The problem is I can't seem to remove the movie clip when another button is clicked, or the same button... Like I said I am new at this and I think a created a mess of things... I am getting error 2007 now
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
mix_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addbear);

I am trying to remove a swf that I import to the stage, but it is not working.
Code:
function btn_cima_3call(clickEvent:MouseEvent):void{
page = 5;
esconder();
content.gotoAndStop(page);
ld.load(new URLRequest("trabalhosV0.swf"));
ld.x = 0;
ld.y = 100;
addChild(ld);
}
So when 1 button is pressed this swf is imported to the stage. but im now trying to remove this when another button is pressed and it isnt working?
Code:
function btn1call(clickEvent:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(ld);
page = 1;
content.gotoAndStop(page);}

I'm trying to use a variable to remove a child from the stage and I get this error:
Scene 1, Layer 'action', Frame 108, Line 471067:
Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type
flash.display:DisplayObject.
What I'm trying to do is to link some keys to add movie clips to the stage. But I need to have only one movie clip at the time on the stage, so, if I press a key to add a movie clip on the stage, the one that is already there needs to be remove. So I set a variable called "actualConf" to hold witch movie clip is on the stage. I simplified the code a bit to add it here (If I press "Q", the movie clip "lise" is added to the stage, then if I press "W", I want the movie clip "lise" to be removed than "nancy" to appear), I added a comment where I get the error :
Code:
Select allstop();
var actualConf:String = "null";
var lise:mcLise;
var liseX:Number = 50
var liseY:Number = 50
[Code] .....
Because I will have about 15 keys linked to 15 possible movie clips, I don't want to use the "if" condition 15 times.

I have a movie clip on the stage with the instance name "ball". In my code, I addChild(ball) to a Ball object called "mainBall". After doing that, I want to remove "ball" from the stage. Finally, I add addChild(mainBall) to stage. The code takes place in my Document class:
var mainBall:MovieClip = new Ball()mainBall.addChild(ball)stage
.removeChild(ball)addChild(mainBall)
From the code, I get the error: "The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller".

I am using the following code to generate a bullet (I have a bullet it the library linked Bullet):
ActionScript Code:
function createBullet (bulletSpeed:Number, startx:Number, starty:Number) {
var bullet:MovieClip = new Bullet();
bullet.x = startx;
[Code].....
upon the bullet.x getting to less that 50 it deletes the movieclip ok (other instances of the bullet are still onstage, which is what I want) but it gives the error:
ActionScript Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

I got a box symbol nothing fancy I applied a motion preset to it and its just a basic bounce.I would like it when the bounce is over the box would just stay still on the stage and the time line would continue to play. The problem is this when the layer with the box on the time line ends the box disappears from the stage as well. now with a old school tween I would just add a blank key frame to the end of the movie and problem solved. But since I'm playing around with a the new type of tween when I try to stretch out the time line it affects the timing of the previous frames. In some cases the whole animation slows to a crawl in others the bouncing in the motion preset happens at the wrong time making it look like the bounce is happening in mid-air. So what I would like to do is just stretch out the time line in some way and just have the first part of the new tween stay in time and pretty much add dead space to the end of the tween and have the box stay put.

I once saw an effect on a flash add I wanted to try make myself also - the cursor makes a vake that blur out and disapear, much like the vake of a plane, just faster. The problem is I need to remove the vake when it has faded out, or else it just stay in the background and fill up forever! I know there must be an easy way for this. Can some of you tell me the best way here? I have attached the fla-file and scripts. You see a comment where I try to put the code...

I have a navigation bar that I want to stay at the bottom of the stage at all times, and also resize based on the stages width ( - 100 ). I was originally using the Event.RESIZE event to do this, but I wasn't happy with it's feedback.. So I switched over to ENTER_FRAME. Basically, My first attempt, not sure if i'm on the right track. Right click to bring up fullscreen option in demo.
