removeChild in Sandy?

[jimmeah]

i cant seem to execute removeChild from my group g

Code: Select all

public function RemoveChildren()
            {
               
               for (var i=0; i<countLvl1; i++)
                  {
                  g.removeChild(myArray[i]);
               }
            }

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property removeChild not found on sandy.core.scenegraph.Group and there is no default value.
at SimpleMove/RemoveChildren()
at SimpleMove/::enterFrameHandler()

No there's no removeChild method.

Please refer to the documentation

            {
               
            for (var i=0; i<countLvl1; i++)
                  {
                  g.remove(myArray[i]);
               }

            }

HI!

If you look at the documentation, you will see that the remove method() is inherited from the Node class and takes no argument.
It removes the Node ( Group, Shape3D ) that you call the method on.

So if you have a Shape3D called shape1 and you go shape1.remove(), shape1 will be removed, not its eventual children.
" Removes this node from the node tree, saving its child nodes.
NOTE that remove method only remove the current node and NOT its children!
To remove the current node and all its children please refer to the destroy method.
The child nodes of this node becomes child nodes of this node's parent."

There are also methods for removing children, like removeChildByID() and removeChildByName().

Good luck!

thanks!

but im still confused, myArray generates sprite2d s like this

Code: Select all

var myArray:Array = new Array([mySprite1, mySprite2, mySprite3, mySprite4, mySprite5]);

for (var i=0; i<countLvl1; i++)
             {
               
            

                var lBmd:BitmapData = new gifBall(0,0) as BitmapData;
                var displayObject:Bitmap = new Bitmap(lBmd);
            
                myArray[i] = new Sprite2D ("Circle" + i, displayObject, 1);           

               degreex += (360/_amount);
               degreey += (360/_amount);
         
               var radianx = (degreex/180)*Math.PI;
               var radiany = (degreey/180)*Math.PI;
             
               myArray[i].x = xcenter+Math.cos(radianx)*radius;
                myArray[i].z = ycenter-Math.sin(radiany)*radius;
            
            myArray[i].scale = 1.2;

                g.addChild(myArray[i]);
               
            
               trace(myArray[i].name + " ry: " + radiany);

             }




so i just can go like myArray[i].remove();?

when i do that, there is no error, but the 2d sprites still appear on stage

next the nodes are able to rotate as you can see in the topic, database generated sprites
but when a certain action occurs, i need new nodes. but when i make the new ones are created, the old ones just stay there and stick...

Why don't you simply do :

Code: Select all

public function RemoveChildren():void
            {
               
            for (var i=0; i<countLvl1; i++)
            {
                  (g.myArray[i] as Sprite3D).remove());
               }

            }


should work better.

[jimmeah]

doesnt work?

i can send you some FLA and AS if you want to, im currently working over the deadline already, the exhibition already started.


we will thank you 100.000 thousand times if you manage to make it work, and we already thank you 50.000 times for all the help

[kiroukou]

I'm sorry, I don't have Flash CS3...

I can simply help you with the AS code, but since I can't test it, would not be fast...

[kiroukou]

Oh!!
I get it It is a bug in the RC0. I have fixed it on the svn !

If you can't use the svn version, I'll tell you what to fix!

BTW in your code I see Sprite3D in the removeChildren method. Is it not a Sprite2D ?

[jimmeah]

can i hit you on msn mail ?
