[AS3] Can't get replay button to work

[TJRobertson86]

I'm just finishing up my first flash game (thanks to many people on this forum, especially lauri), and I'm having a couple issues, but my main one is getting the replay button at the Win/Lose screen to work.

I tried using some code I found from another thread on this forum, but I still couldn't get it to work. It's possible that I just didn't understand how to implement the code. Here's what I was trying:

replay_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadMovieNum("yourgame.swf", 0);
};

I also tried having the button re-run my "initiate game" function (which sets all the game values to their starting state), but that doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Here's my swf: tjrobertson.com/games/beegamev3.html
And my fla: tjrobertson.com/games/beegamev3.fla

I apologize if my code is messy. The replay button function can be found on lines 415 - 422 of the main timeline... altho it's not doing anything at the moment.

Thank you!

the code you posted there is AS2; won't work in AS3.

That explains why it wasn't working =P Thank you..

Any idea how I would accomplish this in AS3?

You use Event Listeners in as3, I think MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP is equivalent to onRelease

Maybe this instead of loadMovieNum ?

var game:Loader =  new Loader(new URLRequest("yourgame.swf"));
addChild(game);

@rrh Thanks for that code. I still couldn't get it to work =/

However, from reading more on the forums, it seems like the "proper" way to code a replay button is just to reset everything to its original state.

I'm trying to remove all the event listeners and children and re-run the initialize game function. My problem now is I can't figure out how to remove all children from a given array.

This is the loop I'm trying right now:

while (ba.numChildren) 
	{
    ba.removeChildAt(0);
	}

But it doesn't seem to do anything... any ideas?

Here's the fla, in case anyone wants to take a closer look at my code: tjrobertson.com/games/beegamev3.fla

Any help would be appreciated

reset an Array:

myArray = [];
