BIG createMovieClip problem!

1

Hello all,

i think this maybe a STUPID question but it caused a problem to me till now.

first i am creating something like an address name bar menu based on an XML file which is generated automatically using actionscript through creating a duplicate of an on stage movie clip. (no problem till now)

let’s say the previous action is going on in the frame labeled ‘menu’.

when someone clicks on any of those buttons it must take them to another frame labeled ‘page’ for example in which some values specific to the clicked button are loaded.

this frame ‘page’ has its own KeyFrame which was empty untill i placed the stuff i want them to load.

the problem is that the action script created buttons are still shown when i reach the next frame.

i have two questions:

  • the span of action script created movieclips
  • how to remove or unload these created movieclips if i want to

thanks a lot

maybe you could create/duplicate all the MovieClips into one MovieClip, that way you’d need to remove only the MovieClip containing all the others. =)

by the way, the sintax is:

myMovieClip.removeMovieClip();

now first one question

to my knowledge a duplicate movie clip method will create a duplicate on the same source as the initial one. You mean i have to load my initial movie called initial into another movie clip on stage (root i mean) let us call it container (as usual) and then use the method to duplicate the initial movie their:
[AS]
_root.container.intial.duplicateMovieClip(“instant_name”);
[/AS]

and this must work in a for loop too ???
