remove all movieclips?

is there any way of doing this?

oh and heres a second question

Code:

---

BulletClip = _root.attachMovie("rbullet", "pbullet"+NextDepth, NextDepth);

---

in that AS, does the pbullet stand for the instance name?

Easiest way to do this is attaching everything to a container, and then when you remove the container, everything will be gone.

Yeah, but it will be pbullet0, pbullet1, etc, depending on the value of NextDepth.

But I never use the instance name (except for things that I put on the stage at design time). The attachMovie method returns a reference to your object, and that is what I use.

Also, a little tip : use lowercase for the first letter of variable names (ie bulletClip and nextDepth). Uppercase on the first letter suggests it's a class name. It's not necessary at all, but it's a coding convention used by programmers around the world in a lot of languages.

so how would i go about giving an instance name to a bullet if i use the getnexthighestdepth to attach the bullet?? if it is supposed to show the depth, which is up to the computer??

Code:

---

var scale = _root.player._xscale / 100
var depth = _root.getNextHighestDepth()
var BulletClip = _root.attachMovie("pistol", "pshot"+depth, depth);
BulletClip._y = _root.player._y - 28;
BulletClip._x = _root.player._x + 23 * scale;
BulletClip.speed = 6 * scale;

BulletClip.onEnterFrame = function(){
       
        this._x += this.speed;
       
        if (this._x > 550){
               
                  this.removeMovieClip();
        }
if (this._x < 0){
               
                  this.removeMovieClip();
        }
        }

Just don't use getNextHighestDepth(). It'll only cause you problems sooner or later anyway.
Use a tag variable instead and increment at every instantation of your bullet.

depth=0;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1); //depth 5000

///CODE
var BulletClip = _root.container.attachMovie("pistol", "pshot"+depth, depth);
depth++;

ok thx ill try it out
