[Flashcoders] all useless: removeMovieClip, destroyObject, DepthManager.setDepthTo

2008-09-03 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael
Hi list...

I can't seem to figure out in AS2 how to get V2 components off the
stage.  I've tried destroyObject, removeMovieClip and even used the
DepthManager class to try to get the depth within range to be removed.
It's showing as -32000.

Any ideas how to get the movieClip off the stage?

Help!

Thanks,
- Michael M.

Have you tried swapping it to a positive depth first before removing it?
Not with the DepthManager, but with movieClip.swapDepths() (I think
that's what it's called, its been a while since I worked in AS2)

Thanks Jason for replying, however it didn't work, but I appreciate the
suggestion.

I've tried swapDepths to a positive number, destroyObject of the
components within that movieClip (2 get destroyed, the third one, a
ScrollPane containing the other two doesn't), simple removeMovieClip
calls, and trying to createEmptyMovieClip on that level.

I must be missing something.

This might help.

I have never used DepthManager and createClassObjectAtDepth, or  
createClassObject ... mainly because they suck. So, I've never had a  
problem because I've always just casted any v2 component as a  
MovieClip in any AS2 class (I never needed code completion on them).


good luck with that one.
