Actionscript 3 :: Determine If A Child Exists?

Mar 19, 2012

I have an event driven flash program. I need to be able to call removeChild() if and only if an object is a child. getChildByName() and most other functions don't seem to allow for this and if you call removeChild() on an object that isn't a child it will throw an error. I suppose an option may be to catch the thrown error and just ignore it, but that seems like a bad solution.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Checking If A Child Exists?

Feb 8, 2009

My page has 2 tab menus. When the page first loads, it defaults to the first tab, but when the second tab is hit, an image is loaded to the stage. I want to remove the image from the stage once the first tab is hit again.I keep getting the error "Access of undefined property Image1" but the whole point is to check if this child exists with the if statement.

//Tab 1
if (Image1 != undefined) {
stage.removeChild(Image1);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Conditional To See If Child Exists

Mar 9, 2010

I m making a basic menu effect. Normally I would animate all this in flash on the timeline but im trying to learn as much as i can about coding. I was actually impressed that i was able to create just this simple animation, but i want to write a conditional that lets me see if a child exists on the stage, if so remove it, if not run a function. Heres where I am so far.[code]as you can see the hardware text drops down and comes in from the top but stays on screen when you mouse out.basically what i want to do in my hardwareOut function is to run a conditional to see if topText exists, if so remove it and if not then gotoAndPlay().

ActionScript 3.0 :: Determine Rotation Of Child Object To Stage?

Jun 19, 2009

How can I get the X, Y, and rotation values, relative to the stage of a child of unknown number of parents?What I am doing is: I have a 'stick' object, that creates a child 'stick', that creates a child 'stick', etc a random number of times.The end stick then creates a leaf. Each new stick rotates a little bit randomly.As a result when my leaf falls off the final stick it flies off in a strange direction.How can I get the leaf to fall down (eg y++ relative to stage)?Alternatively I thought I could dispatch an event that has a leaf created at the stage level but then I really need to know what the X and Y co-ordinates of my final stick is realtive to the stage.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Conditional Statement To Determine If An Xml Child Is Null?

Jun 16, 2009

With this code, I need to determine if the xml child is null and form a conditional statement upon that info.I have it very close but something is just "un-tweeked" enough that it wont work correctly.AS3 and XML provided below...

Code:
var url = txtBox_mc.getTix.url;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
txtBox_mc.getTix.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GetUrTix);[code].....

The problem now only the " if (url == null) { " is read, thus returning those results. I believe the issue is within the definition of url " var url = txtBox_mc.getTix.url; "...
