Flash - Remove MovieClip From Stage?
Dec 3, 2010
I am getting a little fustrated with trying to remove a MovieClip from my stage after I am done with it. On loading my frame, I have a little bit of code in a function that creates a piechart.
var piechart:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(piechart);
//Then a bunch more to draw the pie chart
So that bit of code is NOT on my "Actions" layer. Now I have a button on this frame that navigates to a different frame in the timeline but when I change frames, the piechart remaines. So, how do I remove this piechart from the stage after I am done with it? I have tries stage.removeChild(...) and others but perhapse I am calling it wrong?

On the click of a button I am having a movie clip load onto the stage from the library using the _root.attachMovieClip command and that part of my code is working perfectly.I have a close button embeded into the movieclip being loaded in but I am unable to get it to remove the movieclip from the stage when the close button is clicked. The close button has to be inside the loading movie clip so it doesn't interfere with other items on the stage which is why i'm not using _visible to show and hide the menu.

is it possible for a movieclip to say that it wants to remove itself from the stage?i am dynamically adding a bullet (movieclip) to the stage for this "tank-type" game im making.. since it's a bullet, it obviously moves.... so, if the bullet's X position is beyond 550, i would like flash to remove it so that it doesn't take up memory...here is the class of the movieclip:
ActionScript Code:

The normal procedure will be to call the parent to remove the child.
ActionScript Code:
stage.removeChild(temporary_movieclip);
or just
[Code].....
I am highly aware that this is a BAD practice in all logical sense, because the parent SHOULD be in charge of removing its childs because then it can set them to nil and remove all Event Listeners for the garbage collector.
Why iPhone ObjC allows that is beyond me.
Is there a way to get a movieclip to remove itself ?

I have a problem. I have a MovieClip that has a script. The MovieClip has an object inside of it. The script is for when I press the left and right arrow keys, the objects inside the MovieClip change. This MovieClip is placed on the stage.
I have a button on the stage, when its pressed, the MovieClip mentioned above is removed.
Once its remove, I press the left and right arrow keys and I revive errors in the output saying; the eventlisteners are still there but the objects gone, error.
I am wondering how I can either remove the event listeners in a MovieClip from the stage and/or how to acess variables and EventListners in a MovieClip from the stage.

I am using the following code to generate a bullet (I have a bullet it the library linked Bullet):
ActionScript Code:
function createBullet (bulletSpeed:Number, startx:Number, starty:Number) {
var bullet:MovieClip = new Bullet();
bullet.x = startx;
[Code].....
upon the bullet.x getting to less that 50 it deletes the movieclip ok (other instances of the bullet are still onstage, which is what I want) but it gives the error:
ActionScript Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()

What i want to happen seems quite simple yet i keep getting the error "access of undefined property" when what i'm trying to remove is in fact defined in the same class but it obviously cannot gain access to it.
I want to remove a MovieClip from the stage once a button has been clicked.The MovieClip is created in the same class as my button function i created. The button works fine but whatever i try to put within the function to remove the MovieClip cause the error i mentioned at the start.

In the code below, I have created an instance of the DrawLineChart class called LineChart1.When I test the movie, it shows up on the stage just fine and when I click on it, I can use a trace command to get a string statement written to the output window. However, now I want to be able to click on LineChart1 on the stage and have it be removed. When I do that, I get an error message 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1.
why I'm unable to refer to my instance LineChart1 and what I need to do so that I can refer to it and remove it when it gets clicked? why the trace statement works when I click on LineChart1 during runtime, but not the removechild command.
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code]....
trace("hello"); // This works. When I click on the LineChart1 MovieClip on the stage during runtime, I get "hello" as an output. removeChild(LineChart1); // throws an error 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1.

Why and when? Because I addChild to the stage 1000 times but only removeChild 800 times, and even so, stage.numChildren returns to 0 after all my objects have exceeded the stage boundary. I have to mention that I am moving objects from left to right (it's a game) and the object's X and Y properties eventually exceed the stage boundaries. Does something happen automatically then??? Like... events removed or something like that? This is a continuation of this thread of mine, where I initially thought addChildren has issues: [URL].

I have a movieclip (childMc) that is the child of another movieclip (parentMc) on the stage.My code creates a reference (refMc) to the child movieclip on the stage, and then deletes the previous parent movieclip (parentMc) through a call to function deleteChild. The problem is that the delete is deleting the reference also. How do I break the reference so that the reference (refMc) is kept on the stage? Here is my code:
Stage Code:
var refMc:MovieClip;
var parentMc:MovieClip=this.addChild(new parentSymbol()); // parentSymbol has childMc

On the stage I have a movieclip called mc_back. I also have a movieclip on the stage called mc_content. Now, inside mc_content I have a bunch of code and some of it adds, or should add, an EventListener to mc_back as well as a a function that works when mc_back is pressed.
So basically, all code is written inside mc_content and some of it needs to interact with mc_back.
how to target mc_back from inside mc_content. Using stage.mc_back or root.mc_back doesn't work and Google should be my friend, but in this particular problem, it's acting more like my enemy.

Will this line
clip.removeChild(clip.getChildAt(0));
completely remove the child of clip at 0 index? I read somewhere you should set to null to all the references to that clip, but I have no other reference in my code. The clip at 0 was added via a regular addChild().
