Cloning Reset Function

programming flash
1

Hi,

I am trying to create a reset button for movieclips I have cloned.

Here’s my code which is on frame 1


_root.green.onPress = function() {
    _root.i++;
    clone = _root.green.duplicateMovieClip("green"+_root.i, _root.i, _root.i, _root.i, _root.i);
    clone.startDrag();
    clone.onMouseUp = function() {
        stopDrag();
    };
};

On my movieclip I have the instance “green” and the following code on it:


onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
    if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, false)) {
        this.startDrag();
    }
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
    if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, false)) {
        this.stopDrag();
    }
}

On frame 1 where I have my main actionscript, I have created a reset button but don’t know how to code it so that all the cloned objects will disappear and reset to the original state.

I also wanted a save button. The purpose of the file is, am creating a chart where the user has the option to drap and drop the boxes from the side to create a chart. Once they created it, then should be able to reset and save- perhaps in an xml format.

I have been trying to create the clone function for flash player 8+ but it doesn’t work and this code only works for flash player 6.

Any suggestions or help?

Thanks in advance

I just tested the file on flash player 8 and cloning kind of works half.

It clones but as soon as I click another movieclip, the cloned moveclip from before disappears.

Any suggestions?
