Re: [Flashcoders] removing dynamically created movie clips(HELP)
Try iterating / looping through the main timeline (the old AS2 _root) clip. I don't think you can rename that one. I think if you are using timeline ActionScript and adding children to something, it is always the clip your code is in - so in this case, you are probably adding to the root clip. You probably should not be able to add children to the stage directly ;) HTH Glen Gustavo Duenas wrote: Hi Glen, I did as you said and this is the result of the first part:clip is [object MainTimeline] name root1 how can I rename the object?True is I don't know how.

Re: [Flashcoders] removing dynamically created movie clips(HELP)
Hi Matt I did as you sent me, but something wrong happened this is
the warning flash gave me:
1120: Access of undefined property contactWindow.
and so on with the other parts of the code , code is:
function removerChild():void{
if(stage.contains(contactWindow)){
stage.removeChild(contactWindow);
}else if(stage.contains(productGeneral)){
stage.removeChild(productGeneral);
}else if(stage.contains(productWindow)){
stage.removeChild(productWindow);
}else if(stage.contains(aboutWindow)){
stage.removeChild(aboutWindow);
}else if(stage.contains(ecuacocoaWindow)){
stage.removeChild(ecuacocoaWindow);
}else if(stage.contains(suppWindow)){
stage.removeChild(suppWindow);
}else if(stage.contains(eWindow)){
stage.removeChild(eWindow);
}else if(stage.contains(proWindow)){
stage.removeChild(proWindow);
}
}
This is added to the click event of my buttons.
The click is a function that creates an object based on an object
that is export for actionscript
like:
function click(e:MouseEvent):void{
var newWindow:AboutUsWindow = new AboutUsWindow():
}
see? is the regular way, problem is when I run the code above to try
to get rid of those windows, but they are not still on stage..that
was the reason? or I miss something else.

gustavo

Re: [Flashcoders] removing dynamically created movie clips(HELP)
Hi Glen, the problem is not the creation of the window(which is movie
clip exported to actionscript), is to removing then in a function.

Re: [Flashcoders] removing dynamically created movie clips(HELP)
Hi,
Sorry, I am a little confused - I may have looked at your question wrong...
Your error says
1120: Access of undefined property contactWindow
etc.
Where is contactWindow created - if you have no variable called
contactWindow in the scope of your removerChild function, it will
complain - I guess if you create stuff dynamically, you may have this
problem. You either have to declare all your child instances, look in an
array, or be a bit more abstract in your remove function:
If you want to remove all objects from the stage (or a clip - substitute
stage with the name of the clip), you can loop through them one by one:
Start by checking what's on your stage / in your clip like this:
function removerChild():void{
var count:int = stage.numChildren();
for(var i:int = 0;i count;i++) {
var clip:DisplayObject = stage.getChildAt(i);
trace(clip is + clip + name + clip.name);
//You might be able to determine what type of movieclip your child is by
casting it -
//if the cast does not work, it will probably be null (not sure if it
throws an Exception)
if(clip as AboutUsWindow) {
stage.removeChild(clip);
}
}
}
I would recommend that you put your dynamic windows inside another
container clip on the stage. That way, it might just be easier to remove
all the children in the container rather than checking if they are a
specific instance.
function removerChild():void{
var count:int = container.numChildren();
for(var i:int = 0;i count;i++) {
container.removeChildAt(i);
}
}
This will only work if you are getting rid of everything each time you
call the function removerChild. If you want to keep certain things on
the stage, it may be easier to pass in an argument(s) saying what
clip(s) to leave onstage - I will leave that for you to decide.
Hopefully I have got the right end of the stick this time...
Glen
