Re: [Flashcoders] can't remove a clip attached to root???
Hi, is this in an empty movie, or a movie with components in it? Try and trace the depth, if its higher than a certain number (which may be caused by components on your stage) you have to swap it to a lower depth first. greetz Hans At 10:27 PM 12/14/2005, Jason Rayles wrote: Is there a reason that a movie clip attached to _root cannot be removed using removeMovieClip? if I do _root.attachMovie(square, s, _root.getNextHighestDepth()); then _root.s.removeMovieClip(); does not remove the clip.

Jason Rayles wrote: Is there a reason that a movie clip attached to _root cannot be removed using removeMovieClip? If _root.getNextHighestDepth() returns a negative value, then you cannot remove the movieclip unless you swap it up to some positive depth. I'm not sure, but that might be it. Otherwise, no! There is no such difference - of course you can do that. Change the depth to 1, and see if that works out for you :) -- Morten Barklund - Information Architect - Shockwaved Gothersgade 49, 4th floor - DK-1123 Copenhagen K, Denmark Phone: +45 7027 2227 - Fax: +45 3369 1174 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] can't remove a clip attached to root???
Hello, I noticed a problem with this function, getNextHighestDepth, it positions the clips to too high level and so removeMovieClip does not delete your clip. You have to put yourself a level to your clip. bye Jason Rayles a écrit : Is there a reason that a movie clip attached to _root cannot be removed using removeMovieClip? if I do _root.attachMovie(square, s, _root.getNextHighestDepth()); then _root.s.removeMovieClip(); does not remove the clip.

Re: [Flashcoders] can't remove a clip attached to root???
Magic, that's it. I am not using any prebuilt components, but I have made some components that extend UIObject, so I suspect that is why getNextHighestDepth returns 1048576, which I guess is outside the valid range. The documentation tells me to use the version 2 DepthManager class, but I am not sure how I would use that in place of attachMovie and getNextHighestDepth. Any suggestions? If I can't do it simply with the DepthManager classs, then I guess I could pick a number and check against getInstanceAtDepth until I find an available depth. Seems dumb. Eff. Better yet, I think I'll just put an empty movie clip on the stage and attach something to that.

RE: [Flashcoders] can't remove a clip attached to root???
Hi Jason, The solution is like others already mentioned. The problem is the getNextHighestDepth and removeMovieclip unable to remove mc's in too high or too low levels. How i solve this is to first swapDepths and after that remove. 1. attach at getnexthighestdepth 2. mc.swapDepths(9); (i use this level always for only this purpose) 3. mc.removeMovieClip Shuold work like a charm. And no it's not you who iswrong, it's the code :) Greets, Ben From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Jason Rayles Sent: Wed 12/14/2005 10:27 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] can't remove a clip attached to root???
