So, I am wanting to clear my whole stage. I already searched through the internet, and unfortunately nothing has worked for my situation.
Basically, what I am doing is a somewhat complex maze generator and before I create a new one, I want to get rid of everything I created prior to that. So far, I hear that the best way to remove movieclips from the stage is buy using:
while(numChildren > 0)
removeChildAt(0);
However this only works for the current movieclip I call it in, which doesn't include the maze I generated. I just want to get rid of absolutely everything. Any ideas on how to do this?
You're thinking along the right lines, you can use numChildren and removeChildAt however you need to call them in the scope of the stage:
while(stage.numChildren > 0)
{
stage.removeChildAt(0);
}
