Removing Movieclips from an Array Displayed on stage
Hi Everyone ,
I am new to AS3 so please forgive me in advance if I end up annoying anyone ;(
I need some help in removing Movie Clips from the stage , these were initially loaded off an array
Here is the Code with the NEXT Button , : for both ARRAYS , Notes and Notes15 ( referring to 15th frame)
function nextframepop2(Event:MouseEvent):void{
trace("Mouse Enabled");
removeChild(notes15[4]);
removeChild(notes15[3]);
removeChild(notes15[2]);
removeChild(notes15[1]);
removeChild(notes15[0]);
nextFrame();
function nextframepop1(Event:MouseEvent):void{
trace("Mouse Enabled");
removeChild(notes[1]); // This is Line 635 , but I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.
removeChild(notes[0]);
nextFrame();
I am calling this Function with an If Statement , I need to make sure all the Movie Clips are loaded before the End User decides to move to next slide.
Here is what I get when I run the Next Button ,
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at PORTDemoPresent_fla::MainTimeline/nextframepop1()[PORTDemoPresent_fla.MainTimeline::frame 2:635]
Can anyone please help ?
Based on what you show it is likely that some other function (like the one before it as shown) has already removed the object. What you should do is learn to use the trace function to troubleshoot your code. In this case put in a trace anywhere you add or remove the same object that tells you whether it is added or removed and which line of code it is, realizing that you might be storing the same object with different references to it. That way you should be able to isolate where things are being removed when you don't expect them to be.

How to eliminate or remove zeros from 1D array
How to eliminate or remove zeros from 1D array. Let say I have 1D array having foolowing elements
"0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 9 0 0 1 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 9 0 0"
So after removing or eliminating zeros it will become as follow
"4 9 1 4 10 9"
So can any body guide me how can I do that? See attached Image for details.
Thanks

Here are 2 example .vi's I made based on altenbach's removeZeroes.png in this discussion thread:
It seems pretty pointless to post those because no new useful information is given.
Currently, only the input is defined in the connector pane, making them useless as subVIs.
unlike my example using integers, an "=0", like any "equal" comparison, is potentially dangerous with DBLs.
Reshaping a 2D array to 1D before removing zeroes is pretty pointless because a 2D output cannot be recovered. A more interesting scenario would be to remove some columns or rows (e.g. that are all zeroes) from a 2D array.
You should also clean up the front panel, e.g. properly zero the upper left corner, make the controls/indicators nicely labeled, sized and arranged, and maybe even add scrollbars to the arrays.
Thank you for those comments.
Now the input and output are defined (in the updated attachments) for use as example subVI's. I also cleaned up a few visual details, but I leave the rest for others to cater to their specific uses if they don't want to use this as a subVI (or at least as-is), such as changing the icons or changing to integers instead of doubles.
I'm not sure about what you mean exactly with "=0" being "potentially dangerous with DBLs". I'm guessing you had a certain case scenario in mind. Although the subVI's seem to work fine within my larger program and situation, my situation may not generalize with regards to this point.
I reshaped from 2D to 1D, with a 1D output, because it could be helpful for things like when later processing just needs a 1D array. For example, in my situation I had to remove a huge spike of unnecessary "0"'s from a previous subVI that were affecting the output display of a certain histogram. So it turned out a 1D array output was helpful, and you never know what problems come up, so I included the 2nd example.
Hopefully if someone is looking for this, they can just use or play with an example subVI (granted that they know how to plug things in for their context). I was hoping to post a subVI people could put to direct use. -
TypeError: Error #1006 - Removing MovieClip from the stage
I have a movie clip that is called to the stage and once the movieclip is finished it calls a function that removes it from the stage. The code works but I get an error message about 4 seconds after the movie clip ends.
Here’s the error message:
TypeError: Error #1006: exitWordMicroscopic is not a function.
at ASvocabulary_microscopic/frame110()[ASvocabulary_microscopic::frame110:1]
Here’s the stage code:
//************************Removes the movieclip from the stage and enables the button.*************************
function exitWordMicroscopic():void

bnt_vocab_microscopic.mouseEnabled = false;
SoundMixer.stopAll();
addChild(word_Microscopic);
word_Microscopic.x = 47;
word_Microscopic.y = 120;
Here’s the code inside the movie clip. This is what the error message is referring to:
//****************** Calls function to remove itself from the stage****************************

What am I doing wrong?Here' how the code looks now:

Randomly generating movieClips from the library onto the stage
Hi
I am trying to call objects from the library for a collection game.
Having major issues with the best way to assign the good objects and the bad objects to later update a score.
Can anyone help me with how i can first assign the movieClips from the library into a good and bad array and then after randomally fill the stage with them.
Regards
Jamesagain and always when testing in the ide, use the trace() function to debug your code:
public function checkCollisions()
for (var i:int = objects.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
if (Point.distance(new Point(gamesprite.car.x,gamesprite.car.y),new Point(objects[i].x,objects[i].y)) < pickupDistance)
if (objects[i].hitTestobjects(gamesprite.car))
if (objects[i].typestr == "good")
score += 10;
trace(score);
else
score -= 4;
trace(score);
if (score < 0)
score = 0;
scoreDisplay.text = String(score);
trace(scoreDisplay.text);
removeChild(objects[i]);
objects.splice(i,1);
if you don't see any trace() output, you can conclude that part of your code is not executing. if see trace output, you can don't see the same value in scoreDisplay, you can conclude you're not seeing your scoreDisplay textfield. -
Is there a way to remove elements from an array 1 by 1?
I have an two arrays, and they vary in size depending on a parameter set by the user (both arrays are the same size though, they both can vary in length). What I need to do, is remove elements one by one from the array, and use these as indices for another array. Basically, I built two arrays to store x-values on a graph. At the first value on the first array, I want y values on the graph to move from 0 to Y (any value). Then on the first value on the second array, I want the y values to move back from Y to 0 (creating a pulse, essentially, from the first value on the first array and the first value on the second array). By having each x value act as an indice for the y array, I belive I can acc
omplish this (ie, y =0 up to indice 90, then y = 5, then at indice 100, y goes back to equaling 0). I know this is poorly phrased, but it's difficult to explain. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.jdaltonnal,
Note: to add an attachment based on your comment of 6/12/01 to my earlier reply, I had to go back to this 'answer' mode, which gives me the option of adding attachments.
Per your comment, you have a sequence, so I've added a simple sequence structure and the 2nd array to provide a 250ms delay between each array output. Let me know...Doug

How do u remove something from an array (char)
(sorry im have just started to learn java.)
if (Character.isWhitespace(inputTextArray[inputTextArray.length - 1]))
inputTextArray[inputTextArray.length - 1] = null;
how can i remove the value out of the position of the array im in.Once you've created an array, its size is fixed forever, so you cannot remove elements from it.
What you will need to do is to construct a new array that contains the same text, but with the white space ommitted. Since you won't know how big the new array is until you've gone through the first one, you need something whose size is not fixed at the beginning.
Given that you're dealing with text, I'd suggest you take a look at StringBuffer.

Problem referring to on-stage movieclips from an array
I have a movieclip on the stage in which I have some 90
movieclips also on the stage.
I created an array to hold the movieclips.
But when I try to add eventlisteners to these movieclips by
cycling through the array, I get a 1009 error ("Could not parse the
XML. Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.") Oddly, however, the application seems to work
correctly, handling my listener events.
On the other hand, if I add eventlisteners for each movieclip
individually, all works fine--no errors are thrown.
Can anyone please point out my error?I found the problem...
I feel sheepish about this, but I misspelled one of the
movieclip instance names in the code (there are 90 of these
movieclips).
That's why the error was thrown, but parts of the application
still worked.
Thanks to all who replied! -
How to remove item from my array
hi, I have one array with items. now I want to remove all items from array. How it can be possible ?
You're welcome.
I have noticed a few silly mestakes in my posts. You probably caught them, but just for clarity:
1. yourArray.length without brackets ();
2. < instead of <= in the loop conditions;
3. when looping with pop() function, the initial length of the array has to be saved in a variable and this variable should be used in condition, because with each loop the length of array changes:
var arrayLen:int = yourArray.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < arrayLen ; i++)
yourArray.pop(); -
Remove series from linechart array
hi people.

how can i remove a "x" serie from that line chart ?System.arraycopy()
You're almost certainly better off with a List implementation, though. Whether you use LinkedList or ArrayList should depend on your usage specifics, but from the limited information provided it seems that LinkedList would be a better choice. -
Removing bracket from iMAC 24'' display for transportation
Hi-
I have a unique problem that I require some help. I need to transport the iMAC in a suitcase on an overseas trip and I need some help in removing the bracket. I do not want to experiment with it unless I know if it can be done.
Could you please let me know if it can be removed so I can package it safely and reassemble at the destination.
Thanks in advance!From my understanding of how the stand works, it is a removable part
and to take it off requires a special tool; the tool is one usually supplied
in the VESA kit, so once the VESA bracket is installed, the foot can
be removed so it won't be hanging in the way.
I'm not sure of the part number for the tool, but do know there is a
specific VESA mount kit (doesn't include wall bracket, etc) for the
iMac 24" and there is a mention of this detail in a fleeting fashion:
"VESA Mount Adapter Kit for 24-inch iMac"
With a tool in this kit, you can remove the iMac stand and attach
the VESA Mount Adapter to the computer.
Perhaps an authorized service technician can tell you what kind
of tip the tool (if like a screwdriver) has on it, so you can buy one.
[ Facts about VESA mount kit - 24" iMac ]
The comments section in this page may be helpful.
PS: There is a more specific discussions forum for Intel® Macs
here, and maybe someone has addressed the VESA and foot
removal issue there. -
How do I removing a specific item from an Array?
Hi there.
I am having an array of movieclips and when my circle(controlled with the keyboard) hitTests true with one of the movieclips inside that array i want to remove that movieclip from the array so when i hitTest it again it returns false (I hitTest using a "for in" with that array).
How do i remove a specific item from within an array?
Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.i haven't noticed anyone showing deference because of the points. in fact, i've seen some people (a minority, to be sure) be just obnoxious about it. i never encountered that before: some people feel they have power because they can dole out points.
but overall i agree with you: the loss of the list of threads i am participating in, along with the most recent posters name, is a significant drawback of the new forums. and there's nothing new in these forums that offsets that drawback.
in addition, i think we've lost way more than 1/2 the older threads. that's a lot of information that's no longer available. -

Removing movie clips in arrays
Hi there
I have this code in my Flash file:
for(bubble in bubbleArray){
bubbleArray[bubble]._y -= 3;
if(bubbleArray[bubble]._y < 370){
bubbleArray[bubble].removeMovieClip();
I'm wondering, when I remove the movie clips should I also be popping them from the array?
I have an onEnterFrame function that attaches the movie clips and pushes them into the array, so I'm worried that if I don't pop them the array will continue to increase in size and slow down the movie. Is this the case, or will they be automatically removed from the array by the removeMovieClip() method above?Looks like I spoke too soon. I imagined that removing them from the array would be easy, but I'm struggling.
The movie clip that is removed from its parent clip and should be removed from the array will not always be the first element in the array, and I'll need to remove multiple clips at a time. I've put in a trace action to trace the length of my array, and after about ten seconds it contains about 2500 elements, most of which have already been removed using the removeMovieClip() method. I'm worried this will slow down the movie.
So to clarify: How can I remove these elements from my array when I remove them from the stage?
I tried to include something like:
while(bubbleArray[0] == undefined){
bubbleArray.shift();
but it caused Flash Player to freeze up. Also, if I trace bubbleArray[0] it is only "undefined" before something is pushed into the array. Once the clip has been removed from the stage, the trace just returns a blank line, not "undefined".
I'd appreciate any help.

bubbleNumber = (minBubbles + (Math.random() * (maxBubbles - minBubbles)));

Removing zeros from data stream
Hi
I have incoming data (plz see attached diagram which shows the 2 states of the for loop '0' and default) which is a 1-D array of 64 bit real data .....it goes through the loop which removes zeros from the array.
As I have 3 elements in the 1-D array (call them x,y,z ), the loop works very well for all values of 'y' and 'z' .
However when x gets towards 1 and below say 10e-3 (it never is a negative number), the loop is rounding everything to 1 and then when the value gets between 1 and 0 (10e-3 for example) the loop leaves it out altogether and I just get y,z values saved.
Plz help me sort this out .
Cheers
Baz

Removing a movieclip from the stage after a set amount of time (or once it's finished its animation)
I've got a movieclip animation which is added to the stage at the start of the .swf. Its an introduction to the game, and the user is encouraged to click on the movieclip to start the animation.
Once the animation is finished I'd like the movieclip to be removed from the stage.
How do I go about doing this? Do I need to setup some sort of event handler which listens out if the movieclip has finished then start a function once its finished to remove it from the stage? Which methods look out for movieclips finishing?
Cheersthere is no specific event that's called when a movieclip stops playing,
what you could do is inside your intro movieclip dispatch an event as soon as the animation is finished
something like ... dispatchEvent(new Event("introFinished");
and all you have to do is add and event listener to the intro movieclip intro.addEventListener("introFinished", onIntroFinished);
when your onIntroFinished is called you can remove the intro from the stage.
