Professional :: RemoveChild Not Working - Movieclip To Appear With +5 To Show The Point Scoring
Mar 2, 2011
I have a simple catching game with objects falling from the top of the screen and when they are caught at the bottom I want a movieclip to appear with +5 to show the point scoring. I have set up a timer to show the mc then to delete it when it finishes. It all works apart from the mc will not disappear once the timer is finished. I have thrown a trace statement in to check that it is firing and that shows up fine. What the hell am I doing wrong? Here is the section of code:
I start running a scoring process with the startTest function which adds 2 text fields - the score (as a number) (myText2) and the label "Score" (myText5) next to it using this code:
I am trying to remove a movieclip from my main timeline but it is not working. you click a button that is in a movieclip that is dynamically added to the stage and it is supposed to remove a movieclip from the main stage. I added a trace to see if it was grabbing the right movieclip and it is. The error message that I am getting is:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am trying to make an interactive presentation, where you can push down on different keys and show different layers in my image. [URL]. If you open this .swf and press the "Q,W,E,R,T" keys you can see what I mean. It was working fine with the layers associated with the "Q W E" keys, but once I started adding more, I cannot press and reveal more than 3 layers at once (try pressing different combinations of three keys at once and you should see that not all of the layers appear, but each key works individually).
Here is my AS3: Code: import caurina.transitions.*; mc_aerial.alpha = 0; mc_01.alpha = 0; mc_02.alpha = 0; mc_03.alpha = 0; mc_04.alpha = 0; stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, mc_aerial_KeyDown); function mc_aerial_KeyDown (e:KeyboardEvent):void{ [Code] .....
I had an existing client ask me about the possibility of building an online quiz. I am fairly adept at working "inside" Flash, but always run into problems when trying to export data "from" Flash anywhere else. I am also trying to figure out if Flash is the best application to build this quiz (I see other possible apps like Captivate, but don't know if they are necessary for what I am trying to do).
What I need to do: I need to create a Login screen to attach the final text score to an individual. Create (50) separate screens for 50 questions with multiple answers for each (simple enough) with submit buttons once the answer(s) are chosen.
Each time an answer is submitted it has a certain "weight" toward the total score (which I am guessing that I could track into a variable inside Flash?) When the test is complete all I need to do is send that Person's Name/Total Score to a database. Is this something best accomplished using Flash?
i created a slide show with buttons, when i test it in flash it works correctly but when i put it in a html page, it does not redirect you to the page when you click on it.
So I've now realized that no mater what I do. my 3D vanishing point is relative to my stage coordinates and not my movieclip's coordinates. I'm trying to move my 3D movieclip from one point of the stage to another but with the strong perspective that I have, I do not want it to change. I would like to move it and preserve it's perspective and not change it's shape.
Is there any way, using Flash CS4, to change the vanishing point (ie projectionCenter) of a MovieClip? Or can Flash CS4 only adjust the stage's vanishing point? It seems that when I change it from inside a MovieClip it changes it on a global level, which is not what I want.
I've found I can use AS3 with PerspectiveProjection to change it at runtime, but I can't see the affect in Flash CS4 which makes doing the actual animation incredibly cumbersome.
It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.
I'm working on a pretty simple flash application which basically plays a music clip downloaded from a web URL, and makes a stick man dance. I have it all working fine, however, I've used the addChild function on the start button to add the mc onto the stage, however, when I applied the removeChild function to take it off again, I get an error telling me that it hasn't got a caller.Here's the script:[code]I've had my tutor look at it, and she can't work it out either, but I do get the feeling that she's not much wiser on Flash than I am.
I'd like to remove objects via removeChild after Tweenlite has finished tweening. But it doesn't really work because my objects are still in the DisplayList. I can't figure out the problem so I would be very happy if someone could help me out with this problem.
Code: //TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0, onComplete:removeChild, onCompleteParams:[sndText]});//does not really work; still in DisplayList TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0}); TweenLite.to(musicText, .5, {alpha:0});
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();
I'm using CS4/AS3 and am swapping out swf files in a single holder from different buttons. The problem is that the child isn't getting removed when switching from button to button.Here's my code:
var Xpos:Number=0; var Ypos:Number=150; var swf:MovieClip; var loader:Loader=new Loader();
I am trying to load multiple movies into a single swf. the problem is when I load another swf holding the movie... it keeps playing the sound from that movie even when I change to another one. what I have
This is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.

I'm new to AS3 and have been making a Snake game. I've come up with a problem with the code (Yes, I have magically created problems trying to program Snake...It's going to be a long day). My problem is, with removeChild...I'm getting strange errors being throw at me. Not only that, but my Movieclip (myFood) is not being removed entirely, only the visuals of it are.
That being said, here is, what I believe to be, the most important chunk of code for this problem, along with the error it gives me. Code: /* * Code for the Snake and whatnot extras. * Also, Snake and Food are classes. */ var myFood:Food = new Food(); stage.addChild(myFood); function snakeEatFood() { [Code] .....
I am creating a somewhat elaborate (for me at least) navigation for my site. I have created a bunch of animated MC's to use as nav-buttons, and all that works great. The only issue is that when you mouse over the MC-buttons, the cursor stays as an arrow instead of turning into the little hand that always happens with links. The links work, but no little hand. Do I have to have a "hit area" defined in order to get the hand icon to popup or what?
I have a image slideshow set up on a time line. Each image is on a different layer and I am looking for a code to make the flash animation start at a random key frame every time the page is loaded. Here is a link to the site I am working on:
In stage button, MovieClip is there. When i click button remove the Movieclip. first time no errors. but next given below error. Ithink allready movieclip is removed from stage so how can i write code. And i also mentioned my codeTypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/onClick( btn.addEventListener("click",onClick) function onClick (e) {
I have a flash button that once clicked that adds an existing movie clip in my library to the stage. Basically what I am trying to achieve is like a popup window in flash so it opens a movieclip and then I have a close button inside the movieclip. Now what I want to achieve is to close the movieclip once I've added it to the stage.I'm trying to use the removechild but I'm getting errors e.g. The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()The way I add the movieclip to the stage is by using the following code:[code]
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.
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. at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
I have a horizontal scrolling movieclip that scrolls when the mouse is left or right of a certain point of that movieclip. However, it only moves slightly then stops when the cursor goes over it, it doesnt actually scroll normally...
I have started learning AS3 after a long stint doing work on AS2, and to test my abilities, I decided to make a quick breakout game. It has gone fine so far until I get to the part where I need to remove the bricks when they are hit. My current code for the class of a Brick is attached, and is started when a Brick is minstantiated on the Stage. However, when I use:
parent.removeChild(this);
it makes the Brick invisible but the AS3 code still runs and the ball bounces off where the moveiclip of the Brick used to be; the eventListener for ENTER_FRAME I added still runs even though I have deleted the MovieClip. This doesn't work either:
this = null;
I have to say I don't like the whole Garbage Collection idea of AS3; it seems half-hearted and uncontrollable; being a .NET developer I am used to more control than this. What was wrong with "this.removeMovieClip();" and how can I correct this? My current swf: http:[url]....(there are other things wrong, like bad collision detection,
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?
