Susan, Coming from a non-coders background I learned a lot from Colin Moocks books. Essential ActionScript 3 and Actionscript for Flash MX. (the last one is AS2 but very readable if you want an understanding of concepts like variables, properties, methods, functions, arrays etc.) Also Actionscript 3.0 cookbook is very handy. Al books are published by O'Reilly. Feel free to ask for directions on lists like these though. I learned a lot here and don't mind sharing.

listen for the ADDED_TO_STAGE event to prevent the null reference.

import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Preloader extends MovieClip{
public function Preloader(){
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init, false,
0, true);

Also: somewhere you have added my_obj to myVar with myVar.addChild (my_obj) Remove it with myVar.removeChild(my_obj) If you did just 'addChild(my_obj)' (that is within myVar) you can say 'removeChild(my_obj)' (of course also within myVar) HTH Willem On 24-feb-2010, at 15:24, Susan Day wrote: On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 9:44 AM, Geografiek geograf...@geografiek.nlwrote: Well, You could at least give a hint as to what _does_ work: trace(my_obj.parent); Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] removeChild Question
Susan, A class is a template - usually written with a capital letter at the start. A class doesn't exist in the memory of the program. It's something you use to define the 'type' of objects you want. Other 'types' might be: int, Number, MyClass, etc. An instance is an object based on that template - usually starting with a lower case letter (so we can tell the difference). For example... var my_obj:MyClass = new MyClass; is a real object, called my_obj, based on the template for that 'type' of thing. You can only remove an instance with removeChild if it is a child sitting on another instance (i.e. you used addChild to add it). MyClass.removeChild(my_obj); tries to remove an instance from MyClass but MyClass doesn't exist (outside of the template). If you use addChild(my_obj); you add it to the stage (this is the main program's instance). If you then use removeChild(my_obj.parent); then you are trying to remove the stage - i.e. remove the program itself. Try var my_obj1:MyClass = new MyClass; var my_obj2:MyClass = new MyClass; my_obj1.addChild(my_obj2); Then you will be okay. This list of add instances when added to the stage becomes a display list. Read about the display lists. I read Mook's comepletely before doing any coding and it really helped.

They are real objects and they have properties as well. And more importantly, your explanation about the stage is not even remotely true. The stage is not the same as the main timeline. You also seem to imply that no matter where someone calls addChild, it will add to the main timeline.

That traced out the name of the class/*.as file, but when I put that value in, as in: MyClass.removeChild(my_obj); it throws an error (1061). What do? Susan, Your tiny amounts of code hide the many reasons that you may be getting errors. I know others have made some suggestions but here are things to think about. 1)By convention classes are named with capital letters at the start, instances with a lower case letter. This makes it easy to tell apart classes from instance in the code. When you write MyClass.removeChild(my_obj); It sets alarm bells ringing about whether you really mean what you write or are simply not following coding conventions. In most cases it will result in an error. 2) Classes that have parents must be descended from some kind of DisplayObject. The obvious candidates are MovieClip and Sprite. So to play around with parent, your class must extend MovieClip or Sprite or.. another class descended from DisplayObject. We can't tell if you've done that. 3) The parent property will be null even after you've created a class instance and will remain null until the instance is attached to a container of some form such as a MovieClip, or Sprite or the stage. addChild() will add a child instance to the current object (depends what this is referring to and where your code is). This is not synonymous with adding something to the stage, but may be. Only when you have added an instance as a child will the parent property of the instance be other than null. So, plenty of ways to trip up, and with tiny code snippets and clear mistakes you can see why everyone has to second guess what's going on. Paul With respect to Moock, yeah, got it, and it's the only reason I still haven't pulled out all the hair in my head. Maybe get the cookbook too. I think Mook is heavy for a first intro to OO and AS3 and I'd suggest something lighter to get going.

Re: [Flashcoders] removeChild Question
Henrik, I was careless. The code and properties of a class, such as Math and Math.PI, are accessible and you can pass objects, such as the number 0.1 into the class methods, as in Math.sin(0.1), and so there is memory associated with them. It's worth noting that a static property for a class belongs to all instances whereas other properties exist - one copy for each object. I should have said that there was no separate memory existing solely for them. Rather, it exists for their instances. I am not sure about your objection about the stage. I never mentioned time lines, I assumed Susan was adding to the stage at the start of her program. Can you have a main SWF without a timeline (single frame)? Can you have a program without a stage? What is more fundamental to a SWF, a stage or timeline? Maybe I am missing something.

If you use addChild(my_obj); you add it to the stage (this is the main program's instance). There are two things here that I have to disagree with. To begin with, classes does too exist in memory. They are real objects and they have properties as well. And more importantly, your explanation about the stage is not even remotely true. The stage is not the same as the main timeline. You also seem to imply that no matter where someone calls addChild, it will add to the main timeline. Now, I am fairly sure that this was not your intention, but you really need to be more clear about these things. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

You forgot a minor detail, don't worry about that. You get corrected and move on, it happens to everyone. The stage is the player. The main timeline is the content that you create. You need both. The stage is needed so that something is visible. The main timeline is the frames stored in the swf. Even a one frame swf has a timeline, that lone frame. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
