Ok, here’s the deal. I want to generate a maximum of 5 childs in a clip called ‘placeholder’ using a button (placeCloud_1). the childs will ‘float’ to the top of the stage. when the y=0 the child must be removed (using the function checkPos() ) so i can add another child without exceding the number of 5 childs. Everything works, exept for the removeChild! i’ve tried removeChild(this) , this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(mc), placeholder.removeChild(this) etc… and nothing works.
When using (this) it throws
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert global@2f6710d1 to flash.display.DisplayObject.
at MethodInfo-251()
when using (mc) it throws
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display: DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at MethodInfo-251()
It’s driving me nuts!
Can someone help me?
this is my code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var i:int = 0
placeCloud_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, makeCloud_1);
function makeCloud_1(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (i<5) {
var mc:cloud_1 = new cloud_1();
mc.alpha = Math.random() * 1; //random alpha -> 1 = 100%
mc.scaleX = randRange(30, 130) / 100; //1 = 100%
mc.scaleY = mc.scaleX;
mc.x = randRange(1, stage.stageWidth);
mc.y = Math.random()* stage.stageHeight;
placeholder.addChild(mc);
var myTweenSpeed = randRange(500, 1000) ;
var myTween:Tween=new Tween(mc,“y”,Regular.easeOut,300,-300,myTweenSpeed,false);
myTween.start();
i++;
//trace (i);
mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkPos);
function checkPos (e:Event):void{
if (mc.y<0) {
//trace (“done”);
removeChild(this);
i–;
}
}
}
}
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
return randomNum;
}
