Removing a MovieClip by Clicking

[Guest]

I want to Remove a Movie Clip loaded from an Array by just Clicking it.

Here is how I loaded them

function load1(Event:MouseEvent):void
{

  addChild(notes[0]);
  notes[0].x = 100;
  notes[0].y = 100;

}

I have three Movie Clips in this Array which are loaded on a condition.

Once one of the MovieClip is on the Screen , I want to remove it by just clicking anywhere on this Movie Clip , How can I do this ?

use:

function load1(Event:MouseEvent):void
{

  addChild(notes[0]);
  notes[0].x = 100;
  notes[0].y = 100;

notes[0].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickF);

}

function clickF(e:MouseEvent):void{

removeChild(e.currentTarget);  // notes[0] still exists though and still has a mouse listener.  if you want to remove it from the notes array and ready it for gc, remove the listener and use the splice() method of arrays

}

Thanks a lot kglad , I really appreciate your help with the code , that really helps as I am really new to AS3.

I tried this but I am getting this Error

//////////////////////////////

Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 2, Line 937, Column 18 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

How do I fix that ?

[kglad]

what's line 937?

[Guest]

kglad,

Line 937 Contains the Variable that I am incrementing with each Child added on to the stage

popcount ++;

Here is the Whole Function

function load1(Event:MouseEvent):void
{

  addChild(notes[0]);
  notes[0].x = 100;
  notes[0].y = 100;
  popcount ++;
  trace("Counter Value:" + popcount);
  if ( popcount == 2)
   {

    btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframepop1);
  
  }
 
 
}

Hi ,

I am trying to Remove the Child (correct) from the stage and I am using this Event Listener function close to call this remove action.

if the Answer is Correct , this new Movie Clip name Correct should show up and when clicked , it should move to next Frame, otherwise another Movie Clip Wron Answer should pop up and stay on the same frame.

Here is my Code , but for some reason , its not working

////// CODE ///////

LISTENER /////////

   if(e.currentTarget == rb1){ /// Checking the Radio Button Selection

   score++;  /// Correct Answer will add 1 to Score.

    addChild(correct);     //// THIS IS THE MOVE CLIP I WANT TO SHOW

    correct.x = 296;

    correct.y = 263;

    correct.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,close); /// INSIDE THIS CALL , I AM ADDING AN EVENT LISTENER TO SEE IF THE MOVIE CLIP IS CLICKED, IF YES , IT SHOULD CALL THE FUNCTION "CLOSE" Mentioned Below.

    trace("Correct Answer");

    trace(score);

   }

/////////////////////////////////////////////

FUNCTION NAME CLOSE

function close(e:MouseEvent):void
   {

   
  
   stage.removeChild(e.target);
  

  
  }

Here is the Error that I get

//// ERROR ///////////

Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 2, Line 962, Column 23 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

[kglad]

use the code i suggested,

function close(e:MouseEvent):void
   {
   removeChild(e.currentTarget);   
  }

[kglad]

you must have something on stage called popcount.  use a different name and make sure you declare it:

var popcount:int;
