[RESOLVED] ERROR: DisplayObject must be a child of the caller

[Zeicon]

Please help me...


I created this simple hitTest on the first frame of my main timeline.


var flash_1g:Flash_1g = new Flash_1g();

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hitTest)
fuction hitTest(yourEvent:Event):void{

if (note1.hitTestObject(key_1g)) {
addChild(new Flash_1g);
}
};


So I have a movieClip (note1) colliding with another movieClip (key_1g) and when collision happens it, a third movieClip from my library (class: Flash_1g) is placed on stage with the addChild cmd. Works fine.

Later I want to remove this movieClip (Flash_1g) again.

But when I try to use

removeChild(flash_1g);

which is the variable name for Flash_1g defined at the beginning.

I get this error:

"The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller."



How should I go about this?

make sure you are calling removeChild on the actual parent of flash_1g.
For example if you add a child to a display object called myParent with:
myParent.addChild(myChild);
you can only remove it from that object:
myParent.removeChild(myChild);

You never added flash_1g. Instead, you created a new instance of Flash_1g and added that.

yea, that's what happened.


Thanks guys. This is resolved.
