[RESOLVED] removing a dynamic scrollpane

[capdetrons]

Hi,

how do you remove a scrollpane created dynamically?

I have tried a couple of ways but can't find any examples on the net.

this.createObject("ScrollPane", "cspScrollPane", this.getNextHighestDepth());

this.destroyObject("cspScrollPane");

will not work and adding a listener like the one example in flash 8 won't either.

I know you could create it inside a empty clip and then get rid of the clip, but I'd like to know if there's a way for the sake of learning.

Hi,

attachMovie("ScrollPane", "cspScrollPane", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

removeMovieClip("cspScrollPane");
// or removeMovieClip(cspScrollPane); 

[capdetrons]

thanks, but it's not a clip I'm mentioning. I'ts a component.

Hi,

this.createObject("ScrollPane", "cspScrollPane", this.getNextHighestDepth());

destroyObject("cspScrollPane"); 

[capdetrons]

it doesn´t work for me

Hi,

Do you have a scrollpane component in your library, if not, drag one to the stage and then delete it.
Perhaps attach your fla if you have no success

hi,

done the same as you in the code and have a scrollpane component in the library. Have also tried to follow the commented out example replacing ("my_ti") with my component's instance nAttachment 73983ame and no luck either.

Hi,

You need to publish for Flash player 9 minimum. Then Hey Presto.

Hi again,

There's got to be a way in Flash 8. Can't publish to player 9

[fruitbeard]

Hi,

Oddly enough it works if you publish for flash player 6 or 9 and above, but not for 7 and 8. Bizare.

[capdetrons]

I'll try it on 6, thanks for the help

hi, Fruitbeard,

I managed to find a way to destroy the component object publishing in flash player 8. Like so (if you're interested):

this.createEmptyMovieClip("scrollPaneContainer", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.scrollPaneContainer.createClassObject(mx.containers.ScrollPane, "cspScrollPane", 20);
scrollPaneContainer.cspScrollPane.setSize(680, 560);
scrollPaneContainer.cspScrollPane.contentPath = "image";

button_btn.onRelease = function():Void {
	scrollPaneContainer.destroyObject("cspScrollPane");
}

but I find myself with a final problem before beeing able to finish my page. When the component is in the library, this scripted menu I have based on (http://flashexplained.com/menus-inte...rop-down-menu/) freezes when rolling the mouse out. I was wondering if you might have any idea why this could happen... I don't know much about developing, never really used debugging so I wouldn't know what to look for, but it shows a focusmanager variable or object that made me think whether I should keep trying to read about it or try building my own scroll pane with a mask or somehow. Do you have any idea about if changing the focus could make any difference?

thanks
