I'm tring my hand at learning flash but I have run in to  a little problem:

Code: [Select]

function explode()
{
expDepth=_root.getNextHighestDepth();
var mc:MovieClip=this.attachMovie("Mc_explosion", "Mc_explosion" + expDepth,expDepth);
["Mc_explosion"+expDepth]_x = _x;
["Mc_explosion"+expDepth]_y = _y;

this.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.removeMovieClip();
}This to the best of my knowledge should make an explosion movie clip appear at the site of the site of the current movie clip.
But it doesn't.
The code compiles fine.
The movie clip that should get removed does get removed.
Any help would be much appreciated.

So.. the problem is that the explosion clip instance doesn't appear?

Maybe you misspelled something somewhere. Double check your library.

[Jerick]

Nope. Double, tripple and quadruple checked. That's not it.

Edit:I commented out some code and commented it back in. It works now, I'm not sure why

From briefly glancing at the code, is it possible that when you call this.removeMovieClip(); it is removing the child explosion as well?

I would do some debug testing with attaching the explosion to something higher up on the chain.

Good luck!

Code: [Select]

function explode()
{
expDepth=_root.getNextHighestDepth();
var mc:MovieClip=_root.attachMovie("Mc_explosion", "Mc_explosion" + expDepth,expDepth);
mc._x = _x;
mc._y = _y;
this.removeMovieClip();
}Try that.
