Remove All Children From a DisplayObjectContainer

 / Published in: ActionScript 3
 

URL: http://enva.to/e4ig6z

DisplayObjectContainer, a parent class of the more common container classes such as MovieClip and Sprite, does not have a built in method to immediately remove all children. To remove all children we simply use a while loop to remove the child which occupies index 0 in the stack until no children remain.

  1. while (displayObjectContainer.numChildren) {
  2.     displayObjectContainer.removeChildAt(0);   
  3. }

This can also be done by calling DisplayObjectContainer.removeChildren(). Needs AIR3.0 of FP11 and above.
