Flash :: Removing MC's

Removing An Mc
During my movie I use the 'attachMovie' function to add new mc's. I also have the ability to delete these mc's, and do so using the 'removeMovieClip' function. Now, everything works fine, visually, so what's the problem? Well when I'm running in debug mode, and I use 'removeMovieClip' the details of the mc still show up in the debug window although the mc has no properties (but the mc's inside the main mc, do still have properties).

Now is this mc actually being removed, or is something else going on?

Cheers for any help

Removing An Mc
i have a button when clicked it attaches a mc to another mc.

then i have button2 which when clicked should remove the attached mc.

for me it is not working. i am wondering if my syntax is wrong?

on (press) {
_parent.emptySundae.emptyTopping.removeMovieClip(" ras");
}

or rather what exactly goes in the ()? the identifier name, the level, or the instance name the the movie is attached to?

all help will be greatly appreciated. thanks much

Removing MC
I've got a flash movie with 2 frames on the main timeline. The first frame is a preloader, the second holds the site content. In that second frame I've got an MC sitting on the stage that plays when F2 loads. I have buttons embedded in another movieclip that when pressed, I want them to delete the MC that plays on the main stage. I've tried removeMovieClip and unloadMovie with poor results. The buttons are animated MC's, here's the code I'm using on them.

Code:
home_mc.onRelease = function() {
_root[_root.current].gotoAndPlay(37);
_root.newMovie = "home";
if (_root.current == undefined) {
_root.current = "home";
_root[_root.current].gotoAndPlay(2);
}
_root.shold.unloadMovie();
home_mc.enabled = false;
};
The bold is where I added my unloadMovie line, can anyone help me sort this out?

Thank you kindly,

Phil

Removing %20 From XML
Hello
I am currently using the FlashSQL Component and it works very well.

I have one problem that i need help with which is NOT a component issue.

The component returns the SQL as XML.

I then break up the XML and display it in a DataGrid.

My problem is - I always get %20 where ever there are spaces in incoming data. Is there a way of removing the %20 from being displayed??

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Removing Swf
Hi, I'm trying to use a z-layer on a website to load a flash over my page. Is there any way to REMOVE the flash from the page after it has finished? I've tried using the unloadMovie(); command but that still keeps the flash on the page. The reason I need the flash completely gone is because users can't highlight/click anything under the flash while it's loaded. Here is the site with the flash just being unloaded (wait for the top intro to finish; the stacked flash/html will load in a pink table)

Removing The SWF Box In IE
I am having an issue with IE. I need some code to tell the IE browser to automatically focus on the SWF when the page loads. That box around the SWF only happens in IE and I hate it. On my clientâ€™s site, www.shirleywilliamsart.com, users have to click the SWF to activate the menu. It is confusing to them because they think they have to double-click the first menu item they select, but none thereafter. Does anyone have code I can put in the HTML doc that will set the focus on the SWF when the page loads, or shortly thereafter?

Removing XML
Hello,
I'm using the slideshow gallery with thumbs and a combo box to load different XML pages into the gallery.

The problem I'm having is that the first XML doc. has 11 nodes and the second has 12. when the second XML page is loaded the last thumbnail is #12 in the first XML file (in other words the thumbnails go 1 - 11, and then an extra thumbnail appears from another XML file). when you click on the thumbnail it does not show the larger version. but I can't get rid of it.

I think I need some code to remove the last loaded XML doc before i load another. If anyone knows anything about this any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Removing Self
hello,
I have a movieclip in flash cs3 that I would like to remove once it hits a certain frame. So what i did was put a keyframe at the end of the animation of the movieclip and in the actions panel i put MovieClip(parent).removeChild(this);
However sometimes i get a null pointer reference error when I run that. So what would be the best way for me to remove the object once its done animating?

thanks

Removing Multiple MC's At Once
Hello folks,

I've a problem with movie clips at the moment. I have multiple clips in a scene (which I'm using to build a windows style menu system), except for most of the time they are hidden to the viewer outside the screen. I call them in with a bit of script like this:

on (rollOver) {
setProperty ("/animation_menu", _x, "278");
}
on (rollOver) {
setProperty ("/animation_menu", _y, "36");
}

Then on mouse out i tell it to go back to somewhere far outside the screen, but I also have to tell every other clip to get out of the way too.

My problem is however that I have SO many movie clips now, and I'm ending up with having to write far to much actionscript to get my menus to appear and disappear. Is there any way I can use actionscript to do something like

remove all of the movies in this scene no matter what the name is, EXCEPT for this one which will stay here?

I'd really appreciate anyone's insight on this becuase it could save me a tremendous amount of time

Removing A VALUE From An Array
Hey folks,

I'm building a game in which the user chooses his 'player' from a list of 100 available characters... and then the other 15 players (controlled by Flash) are chosen randomly from the same list. Each character has specific attributes etc.

Here's the problem - I can (thanks to help from ya'll) now randomly choose 16 characters from a list of 100, and apply their attributes accordingly (for example, if player 5 is 'Dave,' player 5's strength is whatever Dave's strength is)... but I want the user to be able to choose his/her character FIRST. How do I then exclude Flash from choosing the character the user chose? For example, if the user chooses character 5, how do I prevent the Flash from chosing character 5 when it randomly generates the other players?

Here's my code:

******
player1num = (whatever the hell the user chooses!)

//
function getUniqueRandom (number) {
var numberlist = new array();
for (count=1; count<=number; count++) {
numberlist[count] = count;
}
this.randomlist = new array();
for (count=numberlist.length-1; count>0; count--) {
picked = math.floor(math.Random()*count)+1;
this.randomlist[count-1] = numberlist[picked];
numberlist[picked] = numberlist[count];
}
return randomlist;
}
x = new getUniqueRandom(100);
player2num = x.randomlist[2];
player3num = x.randomlist[3];
player4num = x.randomlist[4];
player5num = x.randomlist[5];
player6num = x.randomlist[6];
player7num = x.randomlist[7];
player8num = x.randomlist[8];
player9num = x.randomlist[9];
player10num = x.randomlist[10];
player11num = x.randomlist[11];
player12num = x.randomlist[12];
player13num = x.randomlist[13];
player14num = x.randomlist[14];
player15num = x.randomlist[15];
player16num = x.randomlist[16];
nameArray = ["NAME1", "NAME2"...];
//you get the idea!
player2name = nameArray[player2num];
player3name = nameArray[player3num];
player4name = nameArray[player4num];
player5name = nameArray[player5num];
player6name = nameArray[player6num];
player7name = nameArray[player7num];
player8name = nameArray[player8num];
player9name = nameArray[player9num];
player10name = nameArray[player10num];
player11name = nameArray[player11num];
player12name = nameArray[player12num];
player13name = nameArray[player13num];
player14name = nameArray[player14num];
player15name = nameArray[player15num];
player16name = nameArray[player16num];
//
*******

So, what I wanna do is REMOVE a value (#) from the numberlist array... right?

Should I be using the array.splice command here?

I hope I'm making sense!!!!!!!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Removing Borders; How Do I?
I read Kirupas tutorial fully but because I am an idiot cannot find the place to make this change. Here is his instructions below;

Different browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape have different margin widths. Because you want to maximize the animation and "Take up every pixel of space available!", you don't want the margins to interfere with what your visitors see. You want to remove the margins. To remove margins, delete the <body> tag and place the following line in its place:

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
-------------------------------------------------------------
Improved text from Mr. Dan;
<BODY topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> For Netscrape & Exblorer

But where in the hell can these changes be made? It is not in the publish settings box or the page setup box. Can anyone help? And if I open the html file in notepad is all I get is garbage.

Removing A Movieclip
Hello,

I have developed a small test interface in Flash 5 with a series of five buttons.

For arguements sake lets say that I have named them Button1, Button2 etc etc. Again for arguements sake lets say that the buttons appear in the left hand side of the stage and the output for each OnMouseEvent for each button should appear in the right hand side of the page.

When the user clicks on say Button1 it runs a small movieclip that shows detials of that button. What I need to know is if the user clicks on say Button2 how do I tell Flash to remove the movieclip that wss set off by clicking on Button 1 and replace it with the movie that has been linked from Button2. I've tried playing around with unloadMovie and removeMovieClip but I'm guessing that these are not what I need to use. I probably haven't explained this very well but can anyone please help?

Thanks

Removing Whitespace From Xml Map

<?xml version = 1.0?>

i was able to access the map by doing:
var something = myXML.firstChild.nextSibling.nodeName;

and that returns: "map"
now here is where i have trouble. i can't get to "level" because there's whitespace in my xml map between map and level and therefore i get "null" when i try to do:

var something = myXML.firstChild.nextSibling.firstChild.nodeName;

even though i've tried the code: myXML.ignoreWhite = true;

doesn't work =(

Removing Duplicated MCs
Hi,

I am using Flash 5 and I have a movie with 80 frames. In frame 79 (labeled "mark") I have the following code:

i = i + 1
if (i>25) {
i = 1;
}
duplicateMovieClip ("_root.marker", "marker"+i, i); {
_root.marker._visible=0;
_root["marker"+i]._x = Math.floor(Math.random() * 360) +10;
_root["marker"+i]._y = Math.floor(Math.random() * 55) +175;
}

In frame 80:
gotoAndPlay("mark");

This works fine. I have a "replay" button that will restart the movie--but when the movie goes to frame 1, it keeps playing this loop and duplicating the mc "marker" oin top of the replay. I have tried removing the movie clip, but it still continues. How do I remove all duplications of the original instance? As for now, when the movie restarts, these clips are randomly popping up.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

I have a list of mcs from which I take mcs out and put them back in, at one point I find that 1 mc is missing and there's a value left instead of it, which isn't null or undefined, which is the same thing you get when you deleted an mc using removeMovieClip(). Why would Flash delete an mc for no reason?

RemoveListener Not Removing
I have a scroll system that adds a listener for the wheel mouse when you roll over the content. When you roll out of the content it removes the listener, so that the user can scroll the entire window pane again.

The problem is that the content sometimes contains links, so i made a check that looks to see if the mouse has rolled off of the content and basically prevents removelistener from happening when rolling over links.

However, once a link has been rolled over, even if removelistener is ran when the cursor is pulled off of the content, it doesn't remove the listener. It seems like it loses track of it or something.

Any ideas as to why this would happen?

Removing MC Duplicates
Hello

I am trying to get some duplicates of an MC to disappear for the next screen but I can't do it.

How the duplicates are made: (it works)
PHP Code:

    if (elapsedTime >= _root.nextBubbleTime) {
        _root.bubbleCount++;
        newBubble = _root.floatingBubble.duplicateMovieClip("newBubble" + _root.bubbleCount, 100 + _root.bubbleCount);
        newBubble._x = Math.random()*Stage.width;
        newBubble._y = Math.random()*Stage.height;
        _root.nextBubbleTime += _root.timeGap;
}
}

The attempt to remove duplicates: (doesn't work)
PHP Code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
       _root.floatingBubble.removeMovieClip();
       while (_root.bubbleCount>0) {
       removeMovieClip("newBubble" + _root.bubbleCount, 100 + _root.bubbleCount);
       _root.bubbleCount--;
