Magic persistent Flash Button

karlectomy

My button won't leave the stage.

I'm programming in AS2.0 using Flash MX2004

I attach the button "again" to the stage and its release function is gameOn where I remove the movie clip.

For some reason, It won't leave the stage...

I've tried to look at everything but maybe I'm missing something.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function gameOn()

{

        again.removeMovieClip();

}
 
function gameOver()

{

        attachMovie("again", "again", 201);

    again._xscale = 120;

    again._yscale = 60;

    again._x = 280;

    again._y = 300;

    again.onRelease = gameOn;

}

Hi karlectomy!
That is no wroking because that's not the correct sintax to the removeMovieClip method.

The correct sintax is the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

someMC.removeMovieClip(targetMC);

What this does is removing the targetMC that's inside someMC.
If your movieclip "again" is on the root I reccomend to to declare a global variable (that is, outside any function) calld home for example, and making it equal to this (I mean, the "this" pseudo-object), so the variable home, will always be the local root, even inside functions.
Then you can use this as follows:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
var home:MovieClip = this;
 
function gameOn():Void {

    home.removeMovieClip(again);

}

Best regards,

Thank you very much,

I see what you're saying.

can I attach and remove movie clips from the stage?

You're welcome!

What do you mean? Dynamically attaching a movieclip to the stage?

More specifically is this correct?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
stage.attachMovie("again","again",201);
 
again.onRelease = stage.removeMovieClip(again);

The sintax is correct, but you can't use Stage to do that, the Stage object only contains information about the movie, it is not a reference to the _root.

If you want to attach it to the root you can do as follows:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
var home:MovieClip = this;
 
home.attachMovie("again","again",201);
 
again.onRelease = stage.removeMovieClip(again);
