I’m getting this error:
Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller
I’ve read about it here and on other forums, but have not come across the same situation I am in, I fixed it but am just looking for clarity:
I create 3 containers, one for a slideshow that gets masked by graphics, another that contains the navigation, and a 3rd that contains the content the navigation will load. I create the slideshow container and it’s mask, then I create the nav container, then later I create the content container. I want to removeChild(contentContainer) after I choose a second navigation item or just want to clear the content. Simple, and it works fine, done it a million times.
THEN: I want the contentContainer to have an index number between the slideshow and the navigation containers. I set the slideshow container index to 0, then the content container index to 1, (and I’ve tried a number of other combinations) and I am no longer able to remove content container beacuse of the error that gets thrown above. In fact any combination of setting the content container to anything other then 0 will throw this error. Why would this be?
The only answer was to set the content container index to 0, then set the slideshow index to 0
works:
setChildIndex(contentContainer,0);
setChildIndex(slideshowContainer,0);
function mouseUP(e.Event){ removeChild(contentContainer):}
does not work:
setChildIndex(contentContainer,1); // tried setting to 1,2,3,4,99,etc
function mouseUP(e.Event){ removeChild(contentContainer);}
does not work:
setChildIndex(contentContainer,1); // tried setting to 1,2,3,4,99,etc
setChildIndex(slideshowContainer,0);
function mouseUP(e.Event){ removeChild(contentContainer);}
thanks!
