Attachmovie And Remove Movieclip
thank you in advance.

This is a problem I've had in flash for awhile now and finally I have to confront it. Yes it sounds like a personal problem.

problem:

Have 20 movies on one screen. Once one is clicked a glow appears behind it. If you click another movie the previous glow disappears and a new glow appears on the one you clicked.

solution:

so far my solution has been just to make multiple frames in a movie clip and call to them individually..

for example

on(press){
_root.glow.gotoAndPlay("glow1");
}

--->well this is way too intensive for 20 movies and my next thought was to use attachmovie.. this worked fine but I thought the levels would overwrite themselves and this would answer the problem. Not so. Only works on loadMovie. I've been messing around with removing the movie clip but can't seem to get what I want.

If any suggestions are out there I would be cheeky.

Thanks,

Squirrel

What Is The Code To Remove AttachMovie?
I am using attachmovie AS like so:

}

What is the AS to remove the clip from the holder on mouse out? (so that it does not stay when mouse over other buttons)

Remove Movie Clip Created With AttachMovie
I have a frame that is populated with movie clips that were created with the attachMovie command.

I don't want these movies on the next frame.

How do I delete them ?

I have tried clipname.removeMovieClip(); in the second frame but it isn't working.

Any ideas?

Attachmovie, Dynamic Name, Scoll And Remove. Help Needed
Hi all,

I have a problem which kept me up half the night, and still isn't fixed! Perhaps some of the experts on this forum can help me, once again.

I have an diagonal road movie clip which I'd like to scroll of the screen, at a diagonal angle. I'll be using programmatic motion, and attachmovie to create the illusion of of a continous background. When the background is off the screen, I'd like to remove it.

Unfortunately, I can't work out how to use and IF statement (to see if it's off screen) with a dynamic movie clip name ("road"+i).

I'm aware there are similar threads on this forum, but for the life of me I can't find one that addresses this combination of issues.

Any advice, O gurus?

Many thanks in advance,

Lewis

Remove Movie Clip Help, Remove Child {AS2}
So, I'm new here, and do to the lack of good help on Kongregate, I have come here =D Hopefully somebody here will be able to help me

if(_root.row2.block1._x == _root.row1.block1._x)
{
_root.row2.block1.removeMovieClip();
trace("working");
}

now, the trace fires, and, if I remove ".block1" the entire movie clip is removed, but with it in there, to remove the MC from within my MC, it WONT be removed, am I doing this wrong or am I making some other error?

AttachMovie() Within Another AttachMovie() Created Instance?
I'm still struggling away on my web site, but I've made quite a bit of progress and I think my code has cleaned up quite a bit. I still have the issue of not being able to attach my new content box movie clip when the button is pressed. I am successfully able to load the data for that instance of the tab, and can access the variables. It also is able to run the newContentBox() function inside it with success, but when it tries to run attachMovie(), nothing happens. Could this be a problem with my depth? Or is it my nesting?

I have been thinking about making a global variable for depth that will increment each time anything is created, so every movie clip is guaranteed to be on its own depth. Would this be a solution?

The site can be viewed here.
The source can be viewed here.
All the data files are located in that directory as well.

This is really driving me nuts, and I want to get something solved so I can move onto the submenu creation.

AttachMovie Inside Another AttachMovie
is it possible to attach a movieclip, and then attach another inside of it? i'm trying to load in images via using loadMovie and XML (a little background) i want the image to be dropped in to have a mask applied to it so that the image appears as a rounded rectangle... here's my code for the for loop that attaches the movie clips...

PHP Code:

for (i=1; i<=totalImages; i++) {
attachMovie("multiplebox", "box_"+i, i);
movieNamer=_root["box_"+i];
}

is it possible to attach a movie inside of 'box_"+i'?

AttachMovie Within An AttachMovie? Not Working
So I've finished a project (let's call it Project Blue) where I use attachMovie which references a folder (of swf's) to place each page of the swf. It worked fine. Next, I made a master 'shell' to place this project (among others) into. To do that I used attachMovie again to place Project Blue in the shell.

But now my attachMovie pages for Project Blue won't show up. Does Flash have a problem with using an attachMovie within an attachMovie?

Thanks for any insight on this....

AttachMovie Nested AttachMovie...
I have in the root timeline an empty movie clip that loads other movies inside of it. Using the attachMovie function.

Inside one of these attachMovie clips I have a nest "attachMovie" clip as well but for some odd reason it's not working. Is there anything I should be aware of when nesting an attached movie?

Remove MC
Hi, can you help me to solve this problem?
I have load a MC in a target (fotina is the name of istance) instead a Flash MC.I want to insert a button that close the MC in target named fotina without close a MC in other target on the same scene.

Thank you very much, and excuse me for my poor english...

REMOVE MC
A movie duplicates a MC 120 times, then it stops.

I then want to get rid of all 120 mc all at once by the press of a button.

I can go:

removeMovieClip("ab" + 1)
removeMovieClip("ab" + 2)
removeMovieClip("ab" + 3) etc etc to 120.......

or I could use........?

I'm sure there's a simple way to do this.

Cheers.

Remove Tag?
as you can see from my previous thread, i've desperately been trying to make flash buttons smaller than the minimum allowed in flash. Now i've realized when inserting the movie in dreamweaver, when i right click on the button i have an option 'remove tag' when i choose it the button becomes much smaller without losing the image (when viewed in browser) whats that all about??? what exactly am i removing, why does the button in turn become smaller and what is the disadvantage of removing this tag? this is more of a dreamweaver question, but i thought i try my luck.
thanks!

Remove MC?
Why doesn't this work to remove an MC named rock? Seems like I'm following the proper syntax!

if(this.hitTest(_root.rock)){
removeMovieClip(_root.rock);
_root.rock._alpha = 30 // Just a test
}

(Flash 5)

Thanks

Remove The Zero (mx)
I have a script that will display the time. However, when it's say...1 pm, it displays 01:00.
Where can I find some info on getting rid of the zero?
Thank you for your time!

Remove Xml
I have a menu that loads a sub-menu into a seperate swf. the sub-menu is coming from an xml file.

the menu sends an id to the sub-menu using local connection which then loads the xml file for selected option. the initial sub-menu loads fine selecting a first option on the menu but that stays there and any consecutive clicks on the menu wont load the appropriate sub menu.

so basically what I want to do is unload the xml submenu when the user clicks an option and load a new submenu. I think!

How To Have An MC Remove Itself
Okay, I've done things like this a few times, and yet I've ran around every way that I can see possibly doing this without success:

I load an MC dynamically from the library ("WIN_ABOUT"). The MC has a few buttons (MCs) within it, one of which is intended to delete the entire MC from the stage. Here's a few ways that I tried it:

b_close.onRelease = function () {
removeMovieClip(_root.WIN_ABOUT);
}

or?

b_close.onRelease = function () {
removeMovieClip(this._parent.WIN_ABOUT);
}

or?

b_close.onRelease = function () {
this.removeMovieClip();
}

or?

b_close.onRelease = function () {
this._parent.removeMovieClip(WIN_ABOUT);
}

Nothing seems to work. And I know this is a simple one!

Title Bar - Can You Remove It?
Hi - in Flash 4, I am creating a ticker - that's done... Can I set the swf file (or exe file) to show without a title bar? Ie. so it is just the ticker which shows?

Also, is it possible to set the swf/exe to be 'always on top'?

Many thanks for any advice,
