I went a little overboard with an object on one of my layers, and converted it four times. It now has five "levels" (What is the term for the levelling described in a flash object that is described below?)--but here is how it is structured:

If you dynamically create a parent movieclip, and dynamically add a color picker to each clip, and add an event listener for each color picker, does a removeChild on the parent movieClip remove event listeners belonging to any of it's children?

View 3 RepliesIs there any way for me to define implicit or explicit type conversions in ActionScript?For instance, I want to define a conversion such that Array can cast into MyClass implicitly. If not, an explicit cast would be useful. I know I can always pass it into my constructor, but I am dealing with semantics here, and I am most interested in a conversion solution if it exists.

I've highlighted where the problem is occurring. Now, I think what I'm trying to do is remove an object from within another object. I think the object I'm trying to remove is actually on the root.
I've built my game so that everytime a new level begins, a "Session" object is created. This Session class then creates everything for the level.
In theory, once the level is over I can just create a new Session object to build a new level, this works perfectly.
However, I'm having some issues removing everything associated with the old level. I've removed the "map" child which stores all visual elements, I've also set the session object variable to null before creating a new one.
This all works fine, but it doesn't remove everything, for example there are still EventListeners running in the old Session objects which are causing me a lot of complications. Do I actually have to remove every single event listener associated with the object and all other objects it creates?
I have a simple crosshair that drops blue balls when the mouse is clicked. I want those balls to be removed once they fall of the screen (as I'm under the impression that if I don't manually remove them, they'll stay in the system and hog resources - maybe I'm wrong).
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME,mousecursor);
import flash.ui.Mouse;
Mouse.hide();
[code]...
However, the various attempts I've made to insert a removeChild function in there to get rid of newBall when it leaves the screen have all failed miserably, and the error codes give me little clue where I've gone wrong (removeChild is not a function or other vauge errors).

I have a web site that creates a page by calling another class object. When I return from that page to the Main page I want the old page removed. I have done it like this but I am getting errors.
Two vars in GlobalVarsContainer:
public static var removePages:Boolean;
public static var pageToRemove:Object;
Create new page object:
function onClickBtn1():void {
var servicesHome:ServicesHome=new ServicesHome();
addChild(servicesHome);
}
[Code] .....
This is the error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable servicesHome is not defined.
So I know it's getting back here with all vars set correctly. I've tried changing the public static var pageToRemove:Object; to a string but that is not right.

Above code does repeat textField Object continuously. Now I want to destroy previous created textField Object. So that my memory will not be hang.

Is there any way that I could destroy previous created object?

View 1 RepliesI load into an empty movieclip (via addChild) a library object (a movieclip of class MyObject that extends the MovieClip class). At some point, from the main I remove this custom movieclip from its parent and I set any reference to null to completely destroy it. The question: what if in the custom movieclip class there are eventListeners? Are them deleted when I destroy the object? Should I write a method to remove them before deleting the object?

I was thinking of using a recursive loop along the lines "if you have children, check if they have children, if they do, check if THEY have children and so on until they have no children and if so removeChildAt(0) of the parent you last checked.

A quick second question, we all know that event listeners should be removed when no longer needed but I was wondering about the event.COMPLETE listener for loading say XML or a video file or any loader object. Is there any point removing that listener of is it in effect dead anyway because it has triggered when "COMPLETE" and won't ever trigger again? Isn't it still "listening"?
I have a video player that is working great. What it does is it Buffers the video until enough of it has loaded that the playhead will not run into itself. That part works great, the issue I am having is there is a little message to let people know the video is buffering. The message is in a Dynamic textbox with an instance name of "loader" and a video with and instance name of "display".
Here is what I have, it just does not appear to be working.
Code:
loader.text = "Video Is Buffering for the Best Experience Possible, Please be Patient. Video Will Play On Its Own When Buffer is Equal To The Remaining Load Time";
if (display.Playing){
removeChild(loader);
}
What I want it to do is remove the loader text when the video is playing. They can play it manually or let the buffer do its thing. This does not seem to be working.

When the yellow_btn is clicked the function explosion is executed. This function displays an object called spark on the stage and makes visible a video clip called house_mc which was previously hidden.
I use a tween to fade the house video into view gradually as it plays and that brings me to my dilemma. When I start this tween I want the spark object to disappear from the stage. To do this I assigned a variable name of endit to my tween and am adding an Event Listener to endit to determine when the tween starts, at which point I want to execute the function stopSpark and remove the spark image from the stage. The code doesn't give me an error but the spark continues to display during and after the video has finished.
yellow_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,explo sion);
function explosion(e:MouseEvent):void
