Remove a child on the root timeline of in a movieclip

Hello

How can I remove a child of the root timeline of in a separate movieclip?

I tried

MovieClip (parent) .removeChild (mc1);

But I get this error

1120: access of undefined property mc1.

I could write a function in the root timeline, which removes all child, then on run only from in the movieclip but is there a better way?

Thanks in advance.

If you are on the timeline of mc2 and want to remove mc1 mc2, you can use:

removeChild (mc1);

If you are on MC2 timeline and mc1 and mc2 are both children of the same parent and you want to remove mc1, you can use:

parent.removeChild (MovieClip (parent) .mc1);

  • How can I remove a child from the scene with a click of a button?

    I have a movieclip which requires playback buttons, Pause, forward and backward. The movieclip has actionscript to different images to load the library movieclips and repeat.

    I tried to use a progress bar, but it does not raise the actionscript during purification, only when the film plays normally.

    My solution is to create your and button back which can go up to specific frames where the key animation will start.

    I need to develop the actionscript code that will remove the children when the user clicks Back.

    That's how I'm loading movieclips several along the timeline of my library:

    var shpA1:arSHPp1;

    function attachAR1 () {}

    shpA1 = new arSHPp1 ();

    shpA1.x = - 30;

    shpA1.y = 18;

    addChild (shpA1);

    }

    the interval is used to repeat the animation to represent the stream on a diagram

    var myInterval1:uint = setInterval (attachAR1, 500);



    What I've tried so far (does not at all - no error or trace):

    function remChild1(event:MouseEvent): void {}

    If (shpA1.stage)

    {

    trace ("arSHPp1 is in the display list");

    shpA1.parent.removeChild (shpA1);

    shpA1 = null

    }

    on the other

    {

    trace ("arSHPp1 is not in the display list");

    }

    var removeTimer;

    clearInterval (myInterval1);

    shpA1.parent.removeChild (shpA1);

  • Thousands of PES files in the root folder of drive D?

    I'm under PSE 13 on a Windows 7 system. I was shocked and horrified to discover, after use of PSE 13 days that the root folder of my D: drive where I have installed PSE13 has nearly SEVEN THOUSAND files! These are for the most part of the xml, bmp, jpg, psd, mp4 and .gif files. It is an absolute no no prospects of a good Windows file system management. Applications should NEVER store hundreds or thousands of files in the folder root of the drive, one. That is why the sous-sous-sous-dossiers/sous-sous-sous-repertoires.  Can you imagine the chaos if every application developer did it?

    More surely there be a way to specify where these organizing files can be stored and place them in the folder of my hard disk where they are absolutely not?

    mxgordon wrote:

    ... Unless it started in PES 11 I had installed before the upgrade to 13, however, when 11 was installed, it's all on the C: drive. I pass the process of conversion of the catalogue of 11 to 13.

    The files usually have names like 'B0000000.pref', 'B0000002', 'B0000005.dat', B0000006.xml, 'B0003495.xml', 'B0003496.bmp', ' "B0006834."» "JPG", "B0006816.psd" and a huge 2 GB of files "Photoshop Temp2287141416368".

    What you show, it is the content of a backup folder. It's a pretty common problem to find all the files in a folder root of a drive when the destination of the backup folder was not specified, the drive letter.

    A backup folder contains files renamed image as "". B000000 ". "JPG", where the suffix is maintained. All the other files and subfolders are renamed in the original catalog file. More important still, the backup folder contains the two most important files, "catalog.buc"(a copy renamed your database "catalog.pse11db" and a "backup.tly" file that contains all the information to rename the files and store them in their structure of tree of file origin of the command of the "restoration" of the Organizer. Catalog backup file is usually created on an external EHD. The restoration process normally allows you to set the location of the main folder on the backup drive. Users don't often specify a folder to create for this purpose; I always recommend to create the backup folder before the restore process.

    Your case is a little more complicated due to several factors:

    -you have converted from version 11 to 13

    -you have installed an SSD

    -you have installed software elements on D: which is something not 1% of typical users will do.

    This and your answer shows that you and only you can find what you've done to get the contents of a backup in the root folder. The answer requires you to remember all of the previous steps, you have done to convert the backup and migrate to the D: drive.

    What is not clear to me of your two different messages, is if the problem is to find files cumbersome and unnecessary in the root or folder if you have also problems with your catalogs and library of image files. If you have no problem to remove unwanted files from the root folder, you simply use Explorer to delete all files starting with "B00" over the catalog.buc and backup.tly file. Instead of delete, you can even move them to a newly created folder: this will create a valid backup folder.

    Thanks in advance for your comments, they can be very useful for other users.

  • in actionscript 3.0 how do a nested movie clip button go to a section on the main timeline

    I do a site based in flash actionscript 3.0, I have a button nested in its own clip, because I have the button bigger to be able to read what I realized the only way to do it is by creating it as a film clipa nd inside the clip in a button

    I've added an event listener for the button of blog, saying:

    blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, gotoblog);

    function gotoblog(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

    gotoAndStop (2)

    }

    This part of the code it goes to 2nd part of the scenario that it is and stop wich is a version of the origanal symbol breath

    I added a second order on structure 2

    blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK.gotoblogpage);

    function gotoblogpage(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

    gotoAndStop ("blogframe")

    trace ("the blog button has been clicked")

    }

    I have named the blog of symbol and use the name from where will the blog page to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where I run trouble the window output in Flash says "blog button has been clicked" I like it. no errors are accouring why that which is at the playhead does not attend the image "blogframe"? If the button does not work when I click on it the code is correct, I think the problem here is he does not want the read head go to the section I want it. So I gues, my question is, how can we make a button less, a clip interact with the main timeline?

    One way to do this is to target the root timeline...

    MovieClip (root) .gotoAndStop ("blogframe");

  • Target the movieclip from a file of class AS3 - remove/add child

    Halo.

    I have a very simple question (for those who use external class files).

    Assuming that I have a MovieClip that is manually added to the stadium and I want to access it from the inside of my definition of the class.

    Thus, the code would be:

    MovieClip (root). MyMovieClip

    But I can't understand how to use remove/add child in this kind of situation.

    I'd appreciate advice.

    Thank you

    If you can reference using them, you can remove it using:

    MovieClip (root). MyMovieClip.parent.removeChild (MovieClip (root). MyMovieClip);

    and you can add to any displayobjectcontainer.

  • Remove the symbol of the child of the stadium

    Hi all

    I need help to remove a symbol of the scene.  I have a list of symbols that are called to the scene at a time in a simulation. When the user leaves a symbol, it is supposed to remove itself and call one another symol (specific).  For example.  I called the 'AR-HistAims' symbol to the scene to help

    var mySymbolObject = sym.createChildSymbol ("AR-HistAims", "Stage");

    mySymbolObject.getSymbolElement () .css ({'position': 'absolute', 'left': (mouseX - offset.left) / sx, 'top': (mouseY - offset.top) /sy});

    mySymbolObject.play ();

    It works very well.  I have put an invisible button in the timeline of symbols and when clicked I want to do two things.

    1. call "AR-percPass" (using the same code as before with a percPass instead of HistAims)
    2. delete "AR-HistAims" of the scene.

    I can't get #2 to work.  I tried the codes below and above the code # 1.  When it is placed above, it removes the current symbol, but does not call the new.  When it is placed underneath, the new symbol appears at the top of the old.  The codes I used are:

    var childSymbols is sym.getComposition (.getSymbols("AR-HistAims"));.

    for (var i = 0; i < childSymbols.length; i ++)

    childSymbols [i] .deleteSymbol ();

    and

    var mySymbolObject = sym.getParentSymbol ().getSymbol("mySymbol").getVariable ("AR HistAims");

    stage.deleteSymbol ();

    and

    1. sym.getParentSymbol () .deleteSymbol ();

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Randy

    Hi Randy,

    There are a few corrections, you must perform in the index_edgeAction.js as file as follows:

    1 in, click Manager, you do not have access to mouseX, offset, sx, sy etc.

    mySymbolObject.getSymbolElement () .css ({'position': 'absolute', 'left': (mouseX - offset.left) / sx, 'top': (mouseY - offset.top) /sy});

    So, do like this:

    mySymbolObject.getSymbolElement () .css ({'position': 'absolute', 'left': 0, 'top': 0});

    Do this kind of changes for each click handler where you used mouseX, offset, sx, sy, etc., with values of left and top.

    2. just search sym.getSymbolElement () .deleteSymbol (); and replace it by sym.deleteSymbol ();

    3 comment out the line #1366 with the instruction sym.deleteSymbol ();

    4. search for the sym.getSymbol (home) .deleteSymbol (); and replace all occurrences of these sym.getSymbol("home").deleteSymbol ();

    With the changes mentioned above, things will work.

    HTH,

  • Deleting parent symbol after the removal of child symbol throws "Eception TypeError: cannot read property 'id', null"in 20141.

    If a symbol of the child is removed first, and then the parent, he throws the error «Eception TypeError: cannot read property 'id', null'.»» Its also strange that the registration of all symbols of the child on the stage he lists as the grandchildren. These codes worked perfectly with previous versions, but not with 20141.

    The code used to print all the symbols of the scene:

    var chldns = sym.getComposition () .getStage () .getChildSymbols ();

    for (i = 0; i < chldns.length; i ++) {}

    Console.log ("-->" + chldns [i] .name);

    }

    Can someone tell me if this is a bug or there at - it another way to do this?

    Thank you.

    There is a bug in 20141. We have fixed this problem and the fix will be available soon in the next update. I think the problem that is described in this post ( removal of nested symbols problem ) is similar.

  • referring to the variable on the main timeline to child?

    so in as2 we achieve using _root, but now in as3, I do not know how to return it now, I tried, root, parent.parent.children, stadium and also MovieClip (root), but it is simply not followed the variable, I also tried the root management, mc.parent he says parent does not belong to the variable number, I tried the same method for MC It gives me the MainTimeLine, so I also tried MainTimeLine.MC, it still does not. Anyone know how? Thank you.

    mount the parent or root like a movieclip:

    MovieClip (parent) .yourvar

    or

  • How to remove a child from view in actionscript 3.0?

    I work with a movieclip labeled tut_mc and in it, I have a button named tut_x_btn. what I want to happen when you click on the X button is to remove the main scenario for the tut_mc. I don't know much about the child controls in Flash. I know I have to access the maintimeline with the MovieClip (root) command to remove the movieclip. and also how you would do the opposite when the click on a button in the addition of a child who is in the library?

    A cleaner way to attack it is to have the code for the button in the main timeline, aiming through the movieclip...

    tut_mc.tut_x_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, removeTut);

    function removeTut(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

    removeChild (tut_mc);

    }

    I'd do the same approach for the addition of a child of the library.

    That approach avoids to do what you suggested to do which isn't really good oop implementation... child objects should not direct the activities of their parent objects - they shouldn't have to rely on their existence, that target the root/mother made.

    If you want to go in the sense that you suggested, you could use MovieClip (root) .removeChild (tut_mc);  (I don't know if you need also of target MovieClip (root) .tut_mc for the argument if... been awhile.)  But using the root references can be random when you start involving separate files.  It is sometimes better to use instead of parents.

  • Targeting the main timeline of in a MC

    Hello all, I have this project that basically works like a slide show. I'm doing things common sense and avoid scenes so I am building each slide as a separate and then mc placing them on the main timeline. What I'm trying to do is get the playhead to move forward on the main timeline to the next image once the mc reached its last picture. I found code that works, but it looks pretty ghetto:

    var _root:MovieClip = MovieClip (root)

    stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, Text2);
    function Text2 (myevent:Event): void {}
    _root.gotoAndStop ("slide2");
    }

    I guess I have two questions:

    1. What is the right way to target a frame on the main timeline of in a mc in as3?

    2. the way I do build does make sense, or is there a better solution?

    Thanks for reading!

    This code is an accident waiting to happen.  An ENTER_FRAME event is raised repeatedly, at the rate of the file.  This does not mean that it looks like... such As... When something enters a ' framework' everything you need instead of this code is to put the following line in the last image of the mc...

    MovieClip (root) .gotoAndStop ("slide2");

    Since you asked on 'clean'... children should not talk back to their parents and tell them what to do.  The good news is that they should be independent and care only for doing what they do. It is the parent to keep an eye on the kids if they are so trend.  The only thing they should do is to know when they are made to the world the fact.  This is done by sending an event.

    If what you're doing are implemented the child to dispatch an event to indicate that they are doing what they are doing (in the last image in your case).

    dispatchEvent (new Event ("imDone"));

    and set up a listener for this child object in the parent of the parent timeline to listen to this event...

    childName.addEventListener ("imDone", eventHandler);

    function eventHandler(event:Event):void {}
    gotoAndStop ("slide2");
    }

    You can't delete this loop of onClipEvent (enterFrame) unless you remove the movieclip to which it is attached. However, you can add an else if statement in your code (in addition to checking the variable Boolean "drag") to check if your _level10 button has been activated.

    and you can delete a slider.onEnterFrame loop, but you probably don't want to do.

    p.s. make the loop enterFrame?
