Every Item on stage has a index number that relates to it. IT is called the Child Index or the CHILD AT. The stage is considered the father. Here we teach how does the childat method works.

HERE IS THE SOURCE CODE!

// FREE to USE, COPY and DISTRIBUTE

var mySmile : Smile;

// the variable mySmile will contain
// a smile movie clip

//This will add 3 smiles
//next one another

for (var i: int =0; i <3; i++) {
mySmile = new Smile();
//this class was automatically created
// on previous tutorial
addChild (mySmile);
//this adds a smile to stage

mySmile.x = i*mySmile.width;
//this will position the smile next to previous

}

addChild(mySmile);
//this will place a smile
//on our empty stage

remove_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSmile);
// removeSmile is a function we will create
// that removes the movie clip from stage

function removeSmile (event:MouseEvent):void {

removeChildAt(3);
removeChildAt(2);
removeChildAt(1);
// this will remove the child index number 1 from stage
}

//thanks for watching
