Okay, I’m making something in AS3, it’s kinda random but it’s just to start to get used to the new language. I’m really advanced in AS2, just AS3 is new to me.
What I’m having problems with is removing objects. Here’s the code for the entire project:
SimpleParticle class:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer
import flash.display.DisplayObject
public class SimpleParticle extends MovieClip
{
var speed = 3
var dir = Math.random() * 360
var exist = 0
var liveTo = 60
var xSpeed = Math.cos(dir) * speed
var ySpeed = Math.sin(dir) * speed
public function SimpleParticle()
{
trace("Ball created: " + this.name)
this.addEventListener('enterFrame', frameListener)
}
private function frameListener(event):void
{
exist++
this.x += xSpeed
this.y += ySpeed
xSpeed += 0.1
ySpeed -= 0.05
if(exist >= liveTo)
{
this.killParticle()
}
}
public function killParticle()
{
this.removeEventListener('enterFrame', frameListener)
// What do I need to put here to remove the particle?
}
}
}
Creates particles:
particles = 0
addEventListener('enterFrame', createParticle)
function createParticle(event):void
{
for(var i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
var atch:SimpleParticle = new SimpleParticle
atch.x = 100
atch.y = 300
addChild(atch)
trace(atch)
particles++
}
particles_txt.text = particles
}
As you can tell, I can’t figure out what I need to make it remove itself once it’s life has expired. All of the script works perfectly except for that part. Any help is greatly appreciated :). If you need more details feel free to ask
