Is there a way to remove a class linked to a movieclip? For instance, I've got a ball (e.g. ball0_mc) that's placed in a target. The way the ball is dragged and dropped into a target is by using a class called Ball. What I would like to do is remove the Ball class from ball0_mc once it's been placed in a target so that it can't be dragged or dropped anymore.

I have problem with removing dynamicly generated MovieClip in external class. How can I remove it? I'm getting this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild() at SomeEffect/updateMc()
I have question regarding removing instantiated objects. Let's say i have a main class in which i instantiate a custom video player (or whatever) class:
Code:
...
var videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer(...);
addChild(videoPlayer);
...
And inside VideoPlayer class i have of course dozens of objects (movie clips, sprites representing different parts of VideoPlayer) and dozens of event listeners attached to them. My question is, if i want to remove this VideoPlayer class from my main class is it enough to just do:

I got a Homepage set up and I have a Contact Form on Frame 55 of my main movie clip.The form is created on runtime using AS with the following code:
ActionScript Code:
import com.warmforestflash.ContactForm;
var contactForm:ContactForm = new ContactForm();

I have an on enter frame listener defined in a function:
Code:
function sideClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
var targetName=e.target.name;
var a:Array=[];[Code] .....
The looptoposition() function simple calls a function from a custom class repetitively to move an object until it reaches its position. This is the function it calls from the included custom class:
Code:
public function rotateToPos(a:Number,b:Number,c:Number):void {
if(!cubeReady){return;}
if(cube.rotationY<b){
cube.rotationY+=3;
[Code] .....
This gets the desired result visually - the cube rotates until the chosen point and then stops - however the listener continues. I have two problems:
1) I would like to remove the listener but can't seem to do so from the imported class - I'm having trouble referencing my functions in the root flash file.
2) I also need to declare that the function has completed - but the equalities mean that b is either greater or less than but never equal to? Whats a better way of getting the cube to rotate to a set position on each frame? The reason for the equalities are the cube can turn two different directions. So rotation could be negative.
I have a class, called fCont (I know, I should use capital letters for class names... oh well), and I need to remove all instances of it from my MovieClip.I'm making a Facebook browser for a uni assignment. When you go to the Friends page, it loads 15 friends, and that's fine. The code below is called on the "Next Page" button press.

How do I make visible a movie clip in the main movie from another movie clip when it loads? Not using addchild since the movie clip is on stage.
[Code]....
I know using the UI loader when I needed to remove from the stage I used
MovieClip(loaderVideoGallery.content).flvPlayer.stop()
this time I need to remove a loader class event loader from the stage[URL]... The scenerio is I have 5 externally loaded .swfs that load on different frames on the timeline. When one is playing and another button event listener is clicked the previous video remains on stage. This happens when I go anywhere else in the timeline so I would think I need (removeChild)
Wouldn't this have to go in every button listener? If I went from a frame that loads an swf to the the frame that displays the homepage where text is in the place of where the swf was I would need to always have the remove Child event in all other button event listeners am I correct?
I'm creating a class for a game, and I'm having a problem removing event listeners from movieclips in that class.In the class file I have an enterFrame event which puts the movieclips into motion - I want to remove that event listener when the movieclip is removed from the stage.I made the function 'public' in the class file and tried to target it as follows (animal is the movieclip)animal.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animal.onEnterFrameHandler)
View 2 RepliesI have two classes, one called car, one called game. When the user drives a car off the map, i wish to remove the car from the map, do some fiddling with vars (lifes etc) and then re-add the child.But i get the following error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.. I think it is because the car class is still trying to control the car even though it is being removed.

When I do removeChild on playScreen, the movieclip just becomes invisible, it doesn't actually get REMOVED. Is it possible to delete a movieclip that you've created just like that?
im creating a game where when the spacebar is pressed the character attacks with a sword.the sword is an animated movieclip and at the end of the movieclip i have a his.parent.removeChild(this); to remove the movie clip but i get an errorCode:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I want to create a movieclip class that subclasses another movieclip class and inherits all its properties (rather than having to rely on the include statement). In my project I'm using:An abstract parent class that extends a movieClip: "infantryDroid".[code]However everytime I try this, flash acts as though nothing was imported from the parent movieclip class.If I was to try the above code I would get the message that _root and speed (which were defined in the parent class) "are undefined".

I have a MovieClip that I dynamically add other MCs as children to. Now I'd like to have a function that removes ALL children at once. I tried a loop with (i < mc.numChildren) but somehow it will only remove even-numbered children, the odd ones stay on stage?
View 12 RepliesI have random buttons on the stage that I have set up so each one, when clicked, will load different movieclip.These movieclips load directly on top of each other in the exact same place.The problem I'm having is the previous movieclip does not clear off the stage when the the next button is clicked.I need to set up a condition that will remove the current movieclip when another button is selected to load the next movieclip.Below is part of my code that needs editing. I've been researching switch, else, and other conditional statements but can't figure out how to make this happen.I have the fla or swf file for viewing, let me know.

I placed a movieclip on the stage, what functions are there to remove it?
removeMovieClip(target);
Only seems to work on MCs which have been attached to the stage E.g.
attachMovieClip();
The _visible property keeps the movieclip there just keeps it invisible. What completely removes it? It is called tankCPU.
In my document class I have assigned the root of fla to theRoot movieclip as theRoot = MovieClip(this.root); And as my program proceeds I have added several childs to theRoot. Now at the end of my program I need to delete all the childs of theRoot. So,how can I do this without individually deleting single childs.
View 1 RepliesIn my .fla file, I have a MovieClip (we'll call it Clip1) linked to a corresponding class defined in a separate .as file.There's a case where I want to create a new MovieClip (Clip2) where Clip1 is, then remove Clip1. This case is dealt with by a function in Clip1's class.So, when I get to removing I do:ActionScript Code:this.parent.removeChild(this)Now, if the DocumentClass created Clip1 and placed it on the screen, this goes fine. But if Clip1 was placed on the stage in the .fla file (by dragging and dropping), it looks like Clip1 is not removed. I think it does get removed, but for some reason it gets recreated. This is the problem.

I have a function called changeMovie which is supposed to load a new movie/swf into a already established container.I can get the new movie to load (all these movies have sound embedded in them) but I can not figure out how to get the old movieclip out of memory.I can foresee an instance of memory overload in my application down the line.I am using Flash CS3 with AS3.[code]As it stands now, I can get the new movie to play and be shown but the old movie clip still continues to play "in the background - along with its sound".
View 9 RepliesI've currently got an array made up of Movie Clips, and a variable to tell us how long that array is. It looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
var coinArray:Array = [coin1, coin2]; //an array which contains all of the coins
var numCoinArray:int = coinArray.length; //how many objects are in the coinArray
I've got a function called collisionTest which tests a collision between two objects.
So, I've got a loop set-up so if my character and a coin collides, it removes the coin it collided with from an array. It looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
function coinCollect(evt:Event)
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < numCoinArray; i++)

Is this trying to reference my objects as something other than MovieClips and is finding them and not recognizing them? I'm completely lost on this and can't understand why it doesn't work.
I've seem to have hit a snafu in a small animation I am creating for my next tutorial. What I have, is a movie clip that gets duplicated when the space bar is pressed. The movieclip has actions setup so that when the movieclip reaches a certain y value, it will remove itself via this.removeMovieClip()
The problem is, every movie clip that is duplicated does remove itself like it is supposed to. The exception is the original movie clip that I duplicate from. That movie clip seems to want to stay and cause problems (it is not removing itself because it isn't duplicated via attachmovie or the duplicateMovieClip method).
i have this function that everytime i click the screen a box appears.
function box () {
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
movie = _root.attachMovie("mcBox", "mcBox", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

I've very new to using Flash with AC3. I've got a small project that reads infomation in from XML files and creates a very two simple menus. The first being the years 2009,2008,2007 etc. (yearMenu_mc). When I click one of these it reads another xml file and builds another menu below (subMenu_mc). This is all working. What I cannot get to work is when I click another year I need it to clear the previous menus text, it just seems to keep over writing and I end up with text that I cannot read anymore. The code I've posted and tried works in one respect it does in fact reset subMenu_mc and I get clear text, but it seems to get rid of the background colour I had set for subMenu_mc.

I'm trying a shooting game from an incomplete tutorial online. I'm trying to finish it off myself and hopefully learning more in the process but straight away I've hit a brick wall.The stage is 900 x 350. Bullets are fired from a turret near the center of the screen and will travel and eventually leave the stage at some point. I want to remove the bullet from memory and the display list once it has left the stage and can no longer be seen.I'm using a conditional if statement to check the x and y position of the movieclip, and if it outside the width or height of the stage then I want to remove it completely.
