I'm working on a pretty simple flash application which basically plays a music clip downloaded from a web URL, and makes a stick man dance. I have it all working fine, however, I've used the addChild function on the start button to add the mc onto the stage, however, when I applied the removeChild function to take it off again, I get an error telling me that it hasn't got a caller.Here's the script:[code]I've had my tutor look at it, and she can't work it out either, but I do get the feeling that she's not much wiser on Flash than I am.
I'm trying to build a conditional statement that will addChild and removeChild at different Timer Delays. Before I go any further, I thought, I should mention that I'm usinig TweenMax to ease the alpha of ease Child from 1 to 0 and back during the process to imitate a fade-in/out.
I'm getting issue with only one line - inside a conditional statement.It's running "OK". The movie runs as I want it, but the remove/addChild transitions are not at the speed I want it at. I am getting an error message in the output, but other than that, the movie runs fine.
I'd like to remove objects via removeChild after Tweenlite has finished tweening. But it doesn't really work because my objects are still in the DisplayList. I can't figure out the problem so I would be very happy if someone could help me out with this problem.
Code: //TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0, onComplete:removeChild, onCompleteParams:[sndText]});//does not really work; still in DisplayList TweenLite.to(sndText, .5, {alpha:0}); TweenLite.to(musicText, .5, {alpha:0});
I'm working on a simple presentation website in flash that imports swf-banners onto the main page. This works, but I need a backgroundcolor and a border so the banners aren't seethrough. So I create another graphic element that puts itself underneath. All this works, but when I try to write a button to remove the "child" it only removes the imported swf (loader) but it can't remove the box underneath - even if I remove the loader-child completely. I get a "1120: Access of undefined property Kant." error
CODE for buttons & loading the swf: stop();var Xpos:Number=10;var Ypos:Number=230;var swf:MovieClip;var loader:Loader = new Loader();
I'm using CS4/AS3 and am swapping out swf files in a single holder from different buttons. The problem is that the child isn't getting removed when switching from button to button.Here's my code:
var Xpos:Number=0; var Ypos:Number=150; var swf:MovieClip; var loader:Loader=new Loader();
I am trying to load multiple movies into a single swf. the problem is when I load another swf holding the movie... it keeps playing the sound from that movie even when I change to another one. what I have
I am trying to remove a movieclip from my main timeline but it is not working. you click a button that is in a movieclip that is dynamically added to the stage and it is supposed to remove a movieclip from the main stage. I added a trace to see if it was grabbing the right movieclip and it is. The error message that I am getting is:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'm new to AS3 and have been making a Snake game. I've come up with a problem with the code (Yes, I have magically created problems trying to program Snake...It's going to be a long day). My problem is, with removeChild...I'm getting strange errors being throw at me. Not only that, but my Movieclip (myFood) is not being removed entirely, only the visuals of it are.
That being said, here is, what I believe to be, the most important chunk of code for this problem, along with the error it gives me. Code: /* * Code for the Snake and whatnot extras. * Also, Snake and Food are classes. */ var myFood:Food = new Food(); stage.addChild(myFood); function snakeEatFood() { [Code] .....
I have a simple catching game with objects falling from the top of the screen and when they are caught at the bottom I want a movieclip to appear with +5 to show the point scoring. I have set up a timer to show the mc then to delete it when it finishes. It all works apart from the mc will not disappear once the timer is finished. I have thrown a trace statement in to check that it is firing and that shows up fine. What the hell am I doing wrong? Here is the section of code:
I need two text fields to be removed when a certain function runs, but they will not always be there. When I tell it to remove child on those text fields it throws errors sometimes because they are not there, and then doesn't run the code beyond that point in the function.
I have a website that contains an INTRO and OUTRO animation.. The main movie has an intro animation and depends which item of menu is clicked it runs an "outro" animation then it loads the external MOVIE. On this external Movie I have a close button that closes the external movie, check this:
Code: Select allremoveMC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeMovie); function removeMovie (e:MouseEvent) { this.parent.parent.removeChild(this.parent); }
How do I replay the intro animation from MAIN movie Clip after the external movie is Removed?
I have 3 different functions for my preloader. I have an Event.OPEN, ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, and an Event.COMPLETE. In the event.OPEN function, I create a new variable that is data typed to the class name of my preloader that I set in it's property dialogue box. This is just a simple circle animation.[code]...
I start running a scoring process with the startTest function which adds 2 text fields - the score (as a number) (myText2) and the label "Score" (myText5) next to it using this code:
I must admit I have struggled with this thing for a bit. It seems simple but for whatever reason I can't get it to work. I just want to make something move in AS 3 right now, and so far I've tried puzzling together two different tutorials, but both of them are missing either some source files or further explanation.
Anyway, here is the code (The bit I am having problems with)
Code: //event listener checks for key presses stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkkey); //Create keyHandler function
[Code].....
The problem is the checkkey function in the update function. If I leave the parenthesis empty it tells me it needs an argument, if I leave it like that it tells me I need a right paren before colon.
i'm very new to Flash and AS3. I've created a clip and need to link some buttons to some pages on my site but they don't seem to work. Please let me know if nyone can help me...below is my code:
I can't seem to get the hitTest to work for my script shown below. I have tested using movieclips created on stage during design time and made to collide during run-time. hitTest works fine in this situation.
But if I use the attachmovie command and create a movie on stage during run-time, that clip cannot hitTest with other movieclips. The hitTest simply doesn't work.
The script below is basically, to create instances of enemymc, and it will fall vertically, hitting a movieclip target_mc which is placed during design-time.
var enemyTime:Number = 0; var enemyLimit:Number = 20; onEnterFrame = function() {
Code: var abc:Number = 0 btn.visible = true btn.buttonMode = true btn.useHandCursor = true btn.addEventListener("click", buildIron()) [Code] ..... I tried this code but it didn't remove the event listener.
I want to change to my end game screen when my value of variable wm gets to 10. Sorry I cant figure out whats wrong with the if statement. It doesnt work outside a function either.
I'm trying to write a function that I can use for creating text fields - in this case: to make the labels for a navigation menu. But the function is not working and I don't know what's the problem. Vars are: n = name and l = depth.
I'm not getting any takers over in the Flash 8 forum.I am using the snow method wonderfully created here on Kirupa and have a quick question. Currently, the movie just starts with a screen full of snow. I'd like to get it to start off screen and fall in. Basically setting an initial state for the ._y of 0. I also can't seem to get a delay working for the function.[code]
