Delete Movieclip?
How do I use actionscript to delete a movie clip after a collision? Basically I am making a game where when "Bob" collides with a coin the coin needs to disspear. This is what I have so far:


Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.coin2, hitTest(_root.bob)) {
_root.text = "You found Coin 2!";
}
}
I have tried using a few different functions but none of them work. (clear, removeMovieClip). Thanks in advance.

Delete Movieclip W/ AS?
Need to delete a movieclip off of the stage. It's messing with my button focus.

Setting it to invisible isn't helping.

Delete MovieClip
Hi,

Check this simplest code

Code:
public function DoStuff():void {
var mc:MovieClip = new SomethingBig();
mc = null;
}
DoStuff();
the MovieClip "SomethingBig" is a movieClip of 7000x7000 with a lot of animations and stuff. Read here : LOT OF MEMORY WHEN IT'S PLAYING.

So, the problem is, if I called DoStuff(), my MovieClip is not deleted after the function. There is no reference at all, there's nothing more then that stupid function but still, my memory keep growing because the movieClip is played.

If I stop all the children of the movieClip, the memory stops to grow, but still, I'm guessing that the movieclip is still alive, and I want him dead cause i'm evil.

Any suggestions ? Remember, there is no reference to it. Attached is an exemple of the bug.

Thanks !

Destroy/Delete A Movieclip?
Hey every1.
I have a question (I'm sure somebody asked it before, but I didn't find the threat...) :
How can I delete/destroy/whatever a movieclip during a movie? I made a game, in the game there is a zombie (movieclip), and when its life (life???) reaches zero, it should be destroyed. I tried "removeMovieClip(this)" and much more, but it didn't work, but also there were no errors.

Lifetime Of A Movieclip? How To Delete After A While?
Hi! I've used a text effect here in flashkit click here to see and I've altered it a bit so it won't overflow over the text like it does in the example. The only problem is that if after about 10 minutes the swf is still opened, the computer starts running slow and so does the animation.

What I would like to know is if there's a way that after some time, say 2, 3 minutes of the snowflake appearance, it can delete itself, so the animation won't get too heavy.

Is it possible to be done? What kind of actionsctipt can I use? Thanks!

Movieclip Target Otherwise Delete.
I am trying to make my duplicated movie clips produced from the blue ball only clip on to the greenRect onRelease, if the duplicate is dropped not on the greenRect onRelease it is to be deleted, i know this is somehow possible with a target command however i am unsure how to implement this when i am using duplicates of movieclips as my instances to stick to the targets as opposed to the main movieclip? Should this even be a concern in my code?

Is It Possible To Delete MovieClip Methods?
ok so Flash doesn't propogate button events into nested movieclips... http://senocular.com/flash/tutorials/buttoncapturing/

I was hoping that I might be able to delete a movieclip's onRelease handler so that I would be able to use the buttons within that movieclip.

is this possible?

MovieClip: Play Once Then Delete
Hi,,

I'm struggling away making a game in Flash MX 2004.

The game waits for a mouse input to place a bomb on a grid. Under certain circumstances the bombs will explode. I have a movieclip for the bomb and a separate movieclip for the explosion animation. (This is because there is only one explosion and many types of bomb. I think it would be very inefficient to have explosion sequences in every bomb clip).

Anyway, when an explosion occurs, I attach the explosion movie clip to the stage at the position of the bomb. I want the explosion to delete immediately after reaching the end of the frame sequance. When I use gotAndPlay, the animation just loops.

Can someone help me please.

Thanks,.

Thomo..

Delete Childs Of A Movieclip
Hello everybody,
First post in this forum..So here we go:
How can i select some child clips, with let's say depth above from 5, and delete them?
Is it safe to overwrite a clip in the same depth instead of first deleting? Do i have memory leaks?

Thanx in advance...

What Is An Instance Name? Delete A MovieClip
I am trying to delete a movie clip. I gave it an instance name and found .removeMovieClip(); but it doesn't seem to delete it.

what exactly is an instance name? is it a pointer to the movie clip?
Is a movie clip an object?

am I simply deleting the pointer to an object?

Although I need help deleting a movie clip using an instance name, I would like to know exactly how flash is set up. I have scripting language xp and c xp. So I am trying to understand action script based of that knowledge.

MovieClip Wont Delete
Hi all,

I have some movie clip objects that I create dynamically and inside them I add a TextField. I need to remove them and then recreate them but for some reason removeMovieClip() doesn't work.

After several removals and recreations I check that:
for (key in _root) trace(key + " " + _root[key]);
and I can see multiple entries of movie clips with the same name

I have also tried to use "delete _root["mcX"];" but it doesn't do much.

All this happens in Flash 8.

Does anybody have any idea of what can possibly go wrong here??

TIA
Alex

Delete All Content Of A Movieclip
How do I, in actionscript, say "delete all content of a movieclip"?

there doesn't seem to be a function called
" _root.movieclipname.deleteContent(); "

I know an awkward way of doing it; deleteing the movieclip and replicating it in the same coordinates with the same name, but this is a terrible way of doing it..

how is it then? please help, thanks

Cut/delete Parts Of A Movieclip
Hey,

I don't even know what to ask for, but here is my problem:

I want to draw a line as part of a graph.

Then I want to draw a hollow circle over the line, but I want to cut out the center of the circle, so it shows the layer under the line.

At the moment, drawing an outline of a circle the line still shows.

Hm, ok I draw the line:

------------

Then I draw the circle:

-----O------

But when I do this in flash I still see the line, the circle is not hollow:

-----(-)-----

How do I 'cut' the middle of the circle out? Instead of beginFill, I want to do beginErase

Thanks :-)

Delete Part Of Movieclip
I just wondered if it's possible to delete a part outside an area in a movieclip. I'm creating a graph that follows a Math.cos formula and it has a constant xspeed and the movieclip goes in the opposite x direction so the graph just draws constantly. But I only want to show part of the graph.
I could just use a mask, but since the movieclip gets bigger and bigger, the movie will be harder and harder to run.
So I want to delete everything outside of the box.

You can see the movie here:

[Flash 8 Actionscript 2.0]Prob With Delete Button On Dynamically Created Movieclip
The plan? Create a color swatch creation tool that dynamically loads an image and allows the user to create a multi-color swatch by choosing different pixel locations.

I borrowed the pixel selector code from a tutorial that this guy had posted:
http://www.flashcs.org/




I am successfully loading a dynamic image to his code and saving the chosen colors into an array.

In the color select function I loop through that array and create dynamic movieclips for each pallette color chosen. I would like to create "delete" buttons for each individual color so that the user could remove a color that he/she didn't like. This is where i'm not successful.


this code has problems, that's where i need someone's help.


Code:

for(var i =0;i < topLimit;i++){ // loop through array
xPos = this.xColorList; // set x and y position based on config variables
yPos = this.yColorList + (this.yColorListJump * i); // yColorListJump is an offset between the swatches

_global.swArr[i] = this.attachMovie("selectedColorInfo", "selected"+i, 1000+i, {_x:xPos, _y:yPos}); // create an array to hold the swatch movieclips - i'm using the _global because i was trying to maek the swatch arrary visible to the onPress function below

_global.swArr[i].id = i;



newSelColor = new Color(_global.swArr[i].sampleChosen1); // Create as new Color object so we can setRGB
newSelColor.setRGB(list[i]); //setRGB is a method of the Color object

_global.swArr[i].hex.text = list[i]; // set the text name of the color


var butArray:Array = new Array(); // create an array to hold each button

//create button
butArray[i] = this.attachMovie("deleteBut","del"+i,2000+i,{_x:xPos+40 , _y:yPos+20}); // place the delete button beside each swatch
butArray[i].id = i;
butArray[i].swatch = _global.swArr[i]; // tried to place the swatch array inside the button array as a property ***not working***

butArray[i].onPress = function () { // my delete function, it deletes the button but not the swatch


removeMovieClip(this);
//removeMovieClip(_global.swArr[this.id]); // commented because not working




}



}
}

Can anyone help me?

Delete Var
Hi all,

I made a simple mailscript in ASP and I managed it to work with Flash. It simply gets all vars from Flash and mails it to the specified address.
The problem is that I don't want ALL the vars to be send. A status check var for example shouldn't be mailed.
Is there any way I could delete (or deconstruct) a variabele in Flash?

Greets Rik.

Delete This.?
Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening FlashKit. Ive got a menu/menu slider (with jazzy fx) that works like a charm on my maintimeline (frame 1). Problem: when it jumps to frame 2, Im still left with my menu slider sitting, smiling at me . Ive been researching types/ways to eliminate this and do not have the creative fortitude this morning to be able to apply such methods effectively any help would be greatly appreciated. ThankYou.
Geoff


Code:
menuButton = new Array();
menuButton[1] = "standard";
menuButton[2] = "negative";
menuButton[3] = "singlesample";

for (i=1; i<=4; i++) {
_root[menuButton[i]].onRollOver = function() {
if (!_root.slider) {
_root.attachMovie("sliderID", "slider", 1);
_root.slider._y = _root[menuButton[i]]._y+145;
}
_root.attachMovie("fxID","fx"+i,2);
_root["fx"+i]._y = this._y;
_root["fx"+i]._x = this._x;
_root.slider.xtarget = this._x;
slider.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += (this.xtarget-this._x)/4;
if (Math.round(Math.abs(this.xtarget-this._x))<.5) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
if (_root.slider.xtarget) {
_root.attachMovie("flashesID", "flashes", 3);
_root.flashes._x = _root.slider._x;
_root.flashes._y = _root.slider._y;
}
}
}
_root[menuButton[i]].onRollOut = function(){

removeMovieClip(flashes);

Delete
I have a dude and a star.
When the dude walks against the star the score rises with 100.
But the star also has to be deleted.


Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_parent.dude)){
_root.score += 100
}
}


Please adjust this script so the star will be deleted if the dude walks against it.

Delete AS With AS...
Is it possible to delete Actionscript on a movieclip by hitting a button?
What I want to move something around in my animation while it is playing with the arrow keys, which is easy enough. But then, when I hit enter (or some other button) I want it to remain stationary until it gets deleted later on (since I'm probably going to put in another movieclip that is moved with the arrow keys, remains stationary, and then gets destroyed). So I was thinking that I would delete the actionscript inside of the movieclip once I get it to where I want it to be.
Is it possible to delete lines of code using lines of code, or is there an easier way to solve the above problem that I'm not thinking of?

P. S. Using Flash 8

Using The Delete Key
I seem to be having a problem using the delete key to trigger events. The code I'm using is to call a delete function and I've tried it with other keys and they work. I've written

listener = new Object();

_root.deleteNote();
}

does anyone know why this doesn't work? Regards
