Clear a Movie,HELP!

im creating instances of a movie when i hit a button on screen. I want to hit another button to be able to clear these instances all at once. Does anyone know how to do this.

Thanks.

Hi,

When you say you’re creating instances of a movie, do you mean
you’re duplicating it?

Yes im duplicating them

You can use a for loop to cycle through the names and remove them from the stage.

But I don’t know what code you are using to duplicate the clip (other than duplicateMovieClip()), so I can’t help you much unless you share the code or sample file :-\

Hi,

If when duplicating you name them as "movieClip1, movieClip2, movieClip3, etc…
you can (as lost in beta says) use a for loop to delete them:


for(var i=0; i<numberOfClips; i++){
var clipsToDelete = eval("movieClip"+i);
 clipsToDelete.removeMovieClip();
}

If I was you I would store the duplications in an array so you can access them at any time and do whatever you want to all or of any of them.

Hope it helps

Cheers
