.visible or reset flash movie help! PLEASE!!!!

[coxyladuk2001]

hi all,

i have a problem, and there are two ways i can think of solving it.

in my scene using buttons i have managed to "dynamically" (if thats the word) load movieclips from the library which at start time were not present.

i wish to remove these movieclips with a button called "start over" however i dont know what code to use.

i tried the .visible thing but flash doesnt like that because the movieclips arent in the scene as yet. would it require an IF statement today?

OR is there a code to reset the flash movie which would work as well. Im really stumped at the moment and i cant complete my project without this.

i hope someone can help me thanks in advance

If you're using attachMovieClip, you can use removeMovieClip() to get rid of the clip...think that's what you're asking.

Hope that helps!

Hi, no im not using attach movie clip. the code is below. ive coded about 30 buttons to this code, so dont really wanna have to change it. Can you see a way of working with this?


for an example button that brings on the movieclip:

wallbut1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, wallbut1Function);

and its corresponding function is:

function wallbut1Function (event:MouseEvent):void
{
var myVariableName:wallswhiteClass = new wallswhiteClass();
this.addChild(myVariableName);

myVariableName.x = 1190.1;
myVariableName.y = 529.0;

}


so now i need a button to remove all or specific one OR reset the flash movie?

cheers

I'm guessing that addChild is a custom function to create the instance of the clip? It has to use either duplicateMovieClip, loadMovieClip or attachMovieClip...I think those are about the only ways to get a new clip on the stage...you'll probably just need a way to implement some sort of removeChild function or remove all your variable names...hard to say without seeing wallswhiteClass
