RE: [Flashcoders] DK - destroying objects from a class using arraynotation

Have you tried...
 
this._targetMc.destroyObject(eval("slidemenu.theThumb" + i));


Sometimes I find eval works when [] doesn't. -Andy

Subject: [Flashcoders] DK - destroying objects from a class using
arraynotation

Hi there! I have a class in which a few objects are created from my library
(loader
component instances and a button instance). They were created sequenciually
(IE hit0,
hit1, hit2, etc) At any rate - I need to destroy them abd then recreate
them.

I am having some issues finding the proper syntax to use destroyObject

For example I tried.


(from within my class)


function killElements() 
{
  for (var i:Number = 0; i < 35; i++)
{
  this._targetMc.destroyObject(slidemenu["theThumb" + i]);
  this._targetMc.destroyObject(slidemenu["theHit" + i]);
}
}

this obviously does not work


My target hierarchy is

_root._targetMc.slidemenu (with the button and loader objects created in
here).

Ideas?

Thanks!

I have not tried that - I will give it a go in a few hours.


Thanks!

If its mx.core.UIObject's destroyObject that you are talking about,
destroyObject takes the instanceName of the object, not the instance
reference. you'll just have to pass the instance name as a string.

So, your code should look somethng like:

function killElements()
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 35; i++)
  {
this._targetMc.slidemenu.destroyObject("theThumb" + i);
this._targetMc.slidemenu.destroyObject("theHit" + i);
  }
}

Hope that helps!

I did in fact realize that this morning once I read up more on the 
destroyObject function.


I did get it working (to a point).

Now for some reason the command is working to remove my component loader 
instances, but not my buttons. I think it would be important to mention 
that my button instances are NOT a component button. They are simply a 
regular button (transparent) that is attached from the library with a 
linkage identifiers. So I just need to get them destroyed as well. I 
suspect there is a different command to do that since they are not 
components I am searching, but have not yet found out how to... so 
if anyone knows - it would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance!
