Clearing the stage

programming flash
1

I have movies nested in movies, what i want to do is when you click on a button i want it to clear the whole stage and then load a frame.

I know that i could put unload each level on the action for the button, but i was just wondering if there is a short way of doing this with code.

Cheers

You mean like having an array with the various levels in it, the a for loop to go through and unload each one?

is that the only way of doing it, by having an array and then when the button i sclick it calls the array.

This way thou i have to find out all the levels all the movies load on and there is quite a few.

Is there any way of some code just to say Stage.clear(); or something like that or am i just wishing it is this simple.

Not that I’ve ever used, but someone else may be able to give a quicker way.

kit,

Could you please post with some example code on how the array would look and the actions for the button to call the array.

Now I think about it, you won’t even need the array, just the for loop. So say you have 5 movies loaded, it would be something like (and this won’t be perfect, it’s just out of my head):[AS]on (release) {
for (count=0; count<5; count++) {
unloadMovieNum(count);
}
}[/AS] where count is your loop, and 5 the number of movies you have. If the number of movies is changeable, then store that as a variable and call it in the loop.
