If the TextArea (or whatever object) is placed on stage manually, it will reside on a negative depth. Objects with a negative depth can not be removed through ActionScript, unless they're swapped to a positive depth.
Use the DepthManager to switch a component's depth to a positive one before removal. import mx.controls.TextArea; import mx.managers.DepthManager; var _ta:TextArea; _ta.text = "Hello World"; _ta.setDepthTo(DepthManager.kTop); _ta.removeMovieClip(); regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allandt Bik-Elliott (Receptacle)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "flashcoders" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 5:21 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] removeMovieClip scoped incorrectly? > hi folks > > i'm trying to get a function to remove a movieclip (actually a textArea > class object) but i've having a bit of trouble - i think > it may be a scope issue but i can't see why > > the function is > _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
