Fishy Clone

[h4x3r]

Ok, so im re programming the game fishy from scratch. so far its going great! But unfortunatly the remove movieClip Code doesnt work... can someone either link my to the tutorial or explain it to me?

To use "removeMovieClip();" the object must have a depth. Depth is assigned to an object when it is either duplicated, or manually assigned one, by using "this.swapDepths(#);"

Once the object has a depth, to remove it, you simple put this code on it:
this.removeMovieClip();

or.. You can do it from outside the MC, and say:
_root["fish"+i].removeMovieClip();

Or something similar.

If I wasn't clear on that swapDepths thing, here's how that works:

this.swapDepths(100);
this.removeMovieClip();

If you put that on an object, it gives the object a depth of 100 over everything else, or possibly under anything else with a depth over 100. Then, the code removes itself, deleteing it and it's assigned depth.

If something's not working, you should post your code so we can see what it is you're doing. Regardless, removeMovieClip code should look like this:

_root.MyMC.removeMovieClip();

However, if your MCs weren't created dynamically, you'll need to give them positive depths:

_root.MyMC.swapDepths(999);
