Remove Child does clean momery?

Hi.
I know that if you remove childs previously added with addChild to the stage they tend to stick in memory and thus reducing performance. For instance if i use a for statement every time i want to populate a list and remove them while i close the list do they remain in memory and thus doing more add and remove of different childs would clutter the memory? Because every time i would create new childs and then add them with addChild so i presume they stick in memory.
Is there a way to safely remove them so that i free up memory every time  i remove Childs?
Thank you.

Take a look at this wonderful article about Resource Management in AS3.

    Create a variable to hold a reference to any child object that is added to the display list, then when any given button is used to add a new movieclip to the display list, use removeChild to get rid if any existing movie clip that was added through the reference in the variable. After the new movie clip is added to the display list, add a reference to that movie clip to the variable so that it can be used when the next movie clip will be added.
    Ent.buttonMode = true;
    Bio.buttonMode = true;
    // create a variable to hold a reference to the currently added child, if any...
    var currentChild: MovieClip;
    ent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goEnt);
    function goEnt (e:MouseEvent):void
    var new Ent:MovieClip = new firstIntro();
    // remove any child object currently in the display list...

  • Forms Designer - Unable to remove Child Table from the form

    Hello,
    While testing adding additional attributes, I have assigned an additional child table to the form. However I am not able to remove it. I get an error message: "This version has been made active. Add/Update/Delete not allowed."
    I tried creating new version and making it active to remove 'active' status from the form I modified, but still getting the same error. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

    creating new version and making it active to remove 'active+'
    Make new version then remove child form and then make version active..
    You are making version active b4 removing child table.
    Don't change the sequence which I have written above.

  • HT4009 My 6 year old was playing on a app we have used for ages, then i received numerous emails sating about $600 of in app purchases had been made. i don't understand how this happened as my child does not know my apple i.d password.

    My 6 year old was playing on an app we have used for ages then last night i recieved numerous emails stating about $600 of in app purchases had been made! i dont know how this happened as my child does not know my apple i.d. password!

    You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they give you a refund or credit for some/all of it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchaes, Billing & Redemption.
    To stop it happening again you can turn off in-app purchases on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases, and also in Restrictions change Require Password to 'Immediately' - the default is 15 minutes during which it doesn't need to be re-entered.

  • Remove child on the root timeline from within a movieclip

    Hi
    How do I remove a child from the root timeline from within a separate movieclip?
    I've tried
    MovieClip(parent).removeChild(mc1);
    But I get this error
    1120: Access of undefined property mc1.
    I could write a function in the root timeline that just removes child and then run that from within the movieclip but is there a better way?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for replying.
    I asked on Kirupa but I couldn't access the site so I asked here.
    I guy answered with this
    MovieClip(parent).removeChild(MovieClip(parent).getChildByName("mc1"));
    It works fine, is this the best way to do it?
    Not sure if I understand what you meant?
    Just to be clear I have to movie clips on the stage mc1 and mc2 and i want to remove mc1 from within mc2's timeline.
    Thanks again

  • Removing child records

    Hi,
    I am using below code to delete the child records for a particular parent record in the Controller:
    But the problem is, it is going in the loop and says deleting records...but data is still present in detail table.
    Please help!
    if ("delete".equals(pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM)))
    MollyAMImpl am = (MollyAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);

  • Remove child within a movieclip

    Hi guys,
    Does anyone know the actionscript 3.0 parameters in removing the child within a movieclip?
    This is my scenario:
    1. I have two (2) languages which play on the main timeline. Each languages are movieclips.
    2. I have a movieclip which has buttons. These buttons are added dynamically using "stage.addChild(main_menu)"
    3. I have a go back button together with the main timeline.
    How can remove a child on a timeline?
    For example when I choose the language A: it will play through by a movieclip and the buttons will be added dynamically [the dynamically added buttons are inside this movieclip; also the AS3 is inside that movieclip]. I wanted to remove the added child when the go back button is pressed and return to certain frame on the main timeline. The go back button is not included in the said movieclip--it is within the same timeline of languages and I wanted the script to be on the main timeline.
    Hope someone could help me. Thanks a lot.
    YSONG

  • OIM 11g R2  - Issue while removing child data

    Hi,
    We are facing the following issue when we try to submit a "Modify Account" request by removing all the child form data.The issue is there only if the child form contains attributes which are of type integer ,date etc (non-string).
    Steps followed
    ==========
    1.Create a Parent process form with an attribute ( For e.g Firstname)
    2.Create a Child process form with 3 attributes ( EmpID --> Integer , Date of Joining --> Date, Address --> String )
    3.Created a resource object
    4.Created a process definition and attached this resource object and parent form
    5.Created some process tasks (Create user,Child Data insert etc) and attached tcCompleteTask
    6.Provision this resource object to an user with one entry for child data.Since tcCompleteTask is attached,the status of the account now is "Provisioned"
    7.Click on "Modify Account" button and remove the child entry (so that there is no child entry presents ) and click on submit
    8.Getting an error in the UI saying "IAM-2050061:Type mismatch for the attribute EmpID.The type passed is string but the corresponding type in dataset is integer".
    Any idea onhow to solve this issue?.Thanks.

    This could be a bug. Try raising an SR. Also more logs if you can.

  • Acrobat X Pro no longer edits pdf's after doing clean install going from 10.9 to 10.10 on mac.

    all other suite programs seem to work just fine. Just not Acrobat X. Was install from upgrade serials numbers. Acrobat X does not work well using Yosemite for me.....

    I am not able to edit scanned documents that once could. They were scanned in as PDF files. The files that I once could edit in Acrobat x Pro are no longer editable. Past PDF's that I used change dates and resend no work. I did a clean install going from maverick 10.9 to yosemite 10.10 due to an issue with third party program. Since the clean install I have not been able to see or work on older adobe files that I once could. Everything that had a adobe icon attach to it has disappeared and been replaced with an apple pdf icon. It will not let me select areas as I once could to even copy and paste.
    Thanks-

  • Right click clip in sequence to remove attributes does not work?

    Trying to get my old head around the three way color corrector. In the process when I try to right click a clip in the sequence to remove the attributes it does not work. When I do it again the filter square is still ticked. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help. The transition from Avid to FCP is not an easy one for me.

    so someone else might be helped, you should link to the good captain's post or explain what you were doing wrong.

  • Weird add/remove child layout behavior

    I'm trying to build an an app that allows the user to toggle
    certain panels on and off. These panels are in Divider containers.
    It seems that at startup, when I remove and add a panel flex
    doesn't properly validate layout. For example 2 panels are added to
    a VDivided container. I then call removeChild on the second panel
    (at the bottom of the container), and the first panel then properly
    occupies all the visible space. When I add the second panel back,
    it is re-added but has not retained its original size and is
    instead compressed at the bottom. If I then remove the top panel
    and add it again, then remove the bottom panel and add it,
    everything works as I expect. It's almost like their is a one-time
    initialization not occurring somewhere. Here is the code sample I
    am using to demonstrate the problem:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="absolute" width="1000" height="800">
    <mx:VBox height="100%" top="0" left="0" right="0">
    <mx:ApplicationControlBar x="0" y="0" width="100%"
    height="58">
    <mx:CheckBox label="Panel 1" id="panel1CheckBox"
    selected="true" click="modifyViewPanel1()"/>
    <mx:CheckBox label="Panel 2" id="panel2CheckBox"
    selected="true" click="modifyViewPanel2()"/>
    </mx:ApplicationControlBar>
    <mx:VDividedBox x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="90%"
    id="vDivideBox">
    <mx:Panel width="100%" height="50%" layout="vertical"
    title="Panel 1" id="panel1">
    </mx:Panel>
    <mx:Panel width="100%" height="50%" layout="vertical"
    id="panel2" title="Panel 2">
    </mx:Panel>
    </mx:VDividedBox>
    </mx:VBox>
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    private function modifyViewPanel1():void {
    trace("modifyView...");
    if (panel1.parent) panel1.parent.removeChild(panel1);
    if (panel1CheckBox.selected) {
    vDivideBox.addChildAt(panel1, 0);
    private function modifyViewPanel2():void {
    trace("modifyView...");
    if (panel2.parent) panel2.parent.removeChild(panel2);
    if (panel2CheckBox.selected) {
    vDivideBox.addChildAt(panel2,
    vDivideBox.getChildren().length);
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    </mx:Application>

    The properties you set with MXML tags are the initial values,
    they aren't used to reset the controls. They would have to be
    dynamic properties like width="{comp1.width/2}" for them to change
    as the program runs. Setting a component's width to "50%" just
    means it will initially be calculated to have 50% of the width of
    its parent. As the program runs the component's width can change
    which it what's happened.
    Removing a child only removes the component from the parent's
    display list. The component still exists and adding it back causes
    the parent to recalculate its layout. This means it may change the
    size of the children.
    You have a couple of choices. You can give the Panel a
    minHeight and the Divider will respect that. Or you can calculate
    the Panel's height, set it to that value, then add it back to the
    Divider.

    Just what error message are you getting?
    Are you trying to redownload them directly to the iPod?
    If you are getting an error message that included Open GL 2 or similar that means that the app requires that but only the 3G and later iPods support that.
