Flash :: Correctly Remove And Check For Removal Of An Object
Jan 23, 2012
I noticed something dangerous while working with AS3 - some objects (namely DisplayObjects / MovieClips) tend to remain in the memory and even perform actions after all references to them have been removed.
I work with Flash CS 5.5 and Flash Builder 4.6.
After getting rid of all references (including removeChild(...) from the Document Class) some objects just seem to stay alive.
This question might come off as a bit broad - but what I am trying to understand is what can I do to MAKE SURE that an object is picked up by the Garbage Collector? More so, how can I get some sort of feedback from the GC that signifies that a certain object has been destroyed? (For example, a console message)

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]...
From my experience, if i don't destroy for example event listeners from my VideoPlayer class and just remove VideoPlayer class the way described they still get fired with null exception messages etc. This is something that's bugging me for a while so i would really like to know what's best thing to do here?

I have placed a video object on top of a graphic that is a link to another site. Before the user clicks the button to activate the video, they can see my background graphic and use the link. After they play the video, the background graphic is no longer visible. Is there any way to get rid of the remnants of the video after it is played so picture and link are visible again?Here is my great code:
videowindowbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, videowindowbuttonhandler);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();nc.connect(null);var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);myvideo.attachNetStream(ns);var listener:Object = new

I donwloaded this small sample for jquery [URL] it is a plugin for a webpage and it displays a flash player to capture a qr code through a webcam. It shows the flash player in firefox and chrome, but it doesn't show it in IE. I do have the flash player in IE because i tried the project in this webpage [URL] and it does display the qr code. A person told me to check if it was embeded using swfobject and I checked the .js file of the project and it is embedding it as an swfobject, this is part of the code in the jqery.webcamqrcode.js

Is their a way to check if an event listener already exists to remove it? stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickdownfunction); Basically, I want to remove the listener, but sometimes it has already been removed, so I want to check if it exists and if it does, then remove it.

I am using the latest flash player and have a swf file served locally from my dev machine.In one container test app I am able to play the swf and make calls to it, but in my "Real" application the same code path results in com errors (basically it looks like the swf isn;' loading properly)Additionally this is made more challenging because no matter what nonsense I put in the call to put_Movie() the return is ALWAYS S_OK. This is confusing.How am I supposed to determine if the swf file loaded and is working?As a follow-on, what would cause a swf file (the same one) not to load in a different app? The code paths are the same (from what I can tell).Obviousl something is going on, but I am not sure what.How to know when swf file doesn't load rightWhy might it fail in a different container application?

I am trying to use a mouseevent.startdrag to move a particular movieclip, but I don't know how to go about checking the object in question. The code below doesn't seem to work with either ==Object(MCsquare) or just ==MCsquare.
function onStartDrag(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(evt.target);
[Code]....
How can I run a check to see if the target object is MCsquare?

I have simple slideshow set up where the user presses a button(forward or back) and the image changes. I used a sharedObject to save each frame, so when the page is refreshed/reloaded, the swf loads back to the image it left off on... thats the idea anyway.However, instead of just loading the previous frame when the page is refreshed, it loads frame 1, and i have to click my "next" button, which then jumps to the slide that should have loaded in the first place. I dont know why this is happening..I'm using Sothink SWF Quicker.. so heres the .sqf[URL]

I have a script that creates arrays based on certain events. These are all stored in one main array like so: mainArray = [[3,6,5,1],[4,5,6],[5,3,5],[4,5,6]]; As you can see, sometimes I end up with duplicate arrays within the mainArray. How can I check if any duplicate arrays exist and remove them from mainArray?

I made a website using AJAX (with jquery) for the navigation.The pages of the site are sliding and I use remove() to destroy the old page.
Every thing seems alright, but some times the browser crashes when he tries to remove the old page containing a Flash object.
How do i remove this Flash's object for my page without having the browser crashing on my face ?Is there a way to stop the Flash execution before removing the object ?

I want to remove an object that is created in a loop, with a timer.
var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, voegtoe);
In function voegtoe I'm adding an Movieclip Object called man:
man.x=Math.random()*650;
man.y=Math.floor(Math.random()*(70))+350;
addChild(man);
I want to remove this object after 2 seconds. The problem is that there are multiple 'man' objects.

I'm getting this error in the following script:
Code:
package com.main.classes
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
[Code]....
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.
