Argument Error 2025

I have two buttons . When I click the wheelon button it adds certain objects to the stage. When I click the wheeloff button it clears the objects from the stage. Everything works fine the first time through however, if after clicking the wheelon button a 2nd time to add the objects back on the stage, if I then click the wheeloff button to remove them I get the following error message. Does anybody have an idea why it works the first time through but not on subsequent tries? Please help. Thank you

Hi,

You should be trying to do it more like so

PHP Code:

---

var w:wheels = new wheels();
function spinButton(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    
    stage.addChild(w);
    w.x = 400;
    w.y = 350;

function nowheel(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    stage.removeChild(w); 


---

that didn't make a difference. still getting the infamous Error 2025 each time after the first time I use the nowheel button.

Hi,

Put your fla up here to look at, or make a sample copy.
