hello there everyone!!! i am making a fighting game in action script 3, and i am having a problem with swapChildren and setChildIndex. the case is that the last fighter that attacked gets in front of the other so i use swapChildren(fighter_1,fighter_2).

While the fight is going on it works alright, but when the fight ends and i change the scene the two fighters that swaped depths during the fight still appear on the stage!! its like they have been duplicated!! does anyone have a solution ? thanks in advance!!!

Correct answer kglad

to remove a displayobject and possibly null it, call removeF:

function removeF(dobj:DisplayObject,nullBool:Boolean):void{

if(dobj.stage){

dobj.parent.removeChild(dobj);

}

if(nullBool&&dobj){

dobj=null;

}

}
