What is the equivalent to removeMovieClip() in AS3?
Apparently many have the same question:
StackOverflow:
How to completely remove a movieclip in as3
Remove movie clip as3
How to remove childmovieclip and add to new parent movieclip
Others:
removeMovieClip(this) in AS3?
Destroy/Delete a Movieclip???
Remove movie clip.But none of their solutions seem to work, for me:Im working on flash CS4 with AS3: I have a very simple movie with a single button called click.On pressing the button, a new instance of coin is created:
this.click.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,justclick);
function justclick(e:MouseEvent){
var money=new coin[code]........

On the main timeline I have a movieclip called "sections". Within "sections" there are 2 movieclips (1 simple button called closeContent and a movieClip called content_aboutUs).I am trying to remove the button "closeContent" from the stage within the "content_aboutUs" movieclip.A following function is called within the "content_aboutUs" movieclip.
PHP Code:
function closeTabContent(e:Event):void {
parent.removeChild(closeContent);

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

Just wondered if I remove a parent movieclip and then set it to null, will it remove all the child movieclips within it from the Display list and also from memory, or do I need to iterate through the parent movieclip removing all its children before removing the parent?

I have a series of movieclips namely alpha1,alpha2....till alpha56,inside another parent movieclip parentMc.The problem is do I have to write onPress() event actions for each alpha movieclip? Or is there any other way to get the childMovieClip index so that I need to write only onPress function for the ParentMc.I know there is that option in AS3...But is that there in AS2.0..

I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

I've struggled with this for a long time and have thrown in the towel. How the heck do you climb the ladder, then go back down again into another clip?

I want to detach a movieclip and attach it elsewhere, but it doesn't seem possible in AS2.
I'm looking for an AS2 equivalent of Cocoa's addSubview/removeFromSuperview.
Is there alternatives routes to go, such as duplicating a movie with a new parent.. is that possible?

When I create classes, often I want to remove methods of the parent class (such as addChild(), perhaps), and I just override the method and have it throw an error. Is there a way to remove it completely?

I have this MC attached to the stage with an instance of say: insA, then within this I have another called say: insB, then finally another one within insB called say: insC.so normally to access the third one I would use: insA.insB.insC do something.I have this button within another MC called say: '2ndinsA', so when a button within '2ndinsA' is pressed I need to perform 'something/move' onto insC.
Now within the class attached to '2ndinsA' i have the parent.getChildByName("insA") code and its seemed to grab the 'insA' and I could then move it, but its the insC that i want to move.How can I then reference the 'insC' within that MC )'insA', i have tried several ways but all come up short (errors galore)

I work on a truckload of flash banners and have progressed more into dispatching events from the final frame of a MovieClip that would contain an object (or collection of closely related objects) animating and then listening for them from the parent timeline so that I know when to continue the main animation etc.In the animation I'm working on currently, there's a car built from blocks over time (the blocks fall from the top of the banner to make up the car); this is all contained within one MovieClip (to make the resizing easier - all I'll have to do is move the entire MovieClip around).The problem is that when I place this MovieClip onto the timeline, it's represented by its first frame (which is nothing because no blocks have fallen yet). This makes it hard to work with because I can't really tell exactly where the car is going to be when the animation is done and so on.Is there a way to have the final frame of this MovieClip visible from the outer timeline?

Why do I get this error saying parent does not exist when I try to remove a movieclip. In the first case, the movieclip cannot exist either on screen/memory if it was not 'contained' by either a movieclip or stage. How can this happen, can somebody explain how this "movieclip" loses its parent reference to the stage or container mc. The debugger stack shows the value of movieclip.parent as null.

I have a MovieClip that has a Dynamic TextField: let's call the instance of the field txtName. I want to set the text field on the fly for txtName, so I add a little ActionScript (3!) that does it nice and easily: txtName.text = "Foo";reat. Now why isn't it working when I try the same thing from a parent MovieClip which contains the MovieClip that has the dynamic text? Example:Child MovieClip with TextField ActionScript 3 in Frame #1:
//------
function SetText(str:String):void {
txtName.text = str;

This image shows the problem, the 3 is a PNG image with a nice drop shadow that expands quite far from the white square. It is a movieclip which was added by the square movieclip.This obviously changes the size of the movieclip so the ROLL_OVER will trigger whenever the mouse is over either of these objects.My question is, how would I make the movieclip "3" never trigger any sort of mouse event for its parent?
Things that do not work:
mouseEnabled = false; (why doesn't this work?? ugh)
mouseChildren = false;

On the stage I have a movieclip (Container, originally 200px width) and inside it with a progressbar movieclip (originally 700px width), scaled with Free Transform Tool to fit the parent container. The width of the container changes run-time while resizing the scene.
In ActionScript I have a function which should set the progress bar width according to a calculated percentage value:
private function updateProgress(event:TimerEvent):void
{
var barWidth:int = _container.width;
var progress:Number = _stream.time / _stream.duration * barWidth;
_progressBar.width = progress;
}
My problem is that the progressBar even at full time (100%) is only at 1/4 of the parent container. I assume that it comes from the symbols original size.
Can I correct this programatically, or I must redesign it with the "designer"?

Let's say I am loading a movieclip from a remote url within another movieclip on another server.
This movieclip now needs to load another child movie clip on the same server as itself.
How can it get its own url and not the url of its parent container so as to load this child ? Because if it refers to "child.swf" it will be relative to the super parent container insted of the first server isn't it ? So it will not be able to load the child correctly if all it can get is the url of the parent.
