AS3 silent removechild: check if exist

Posted on by

sometimes you want to remove some children from the display list, but don’t know if the child exist or not!?

thanx to contains(), no probleme anymore;

[codesyntax lang="as3"]
if (this.contains(targetChild)) {
this.removeChild ( targetChild);
}
[/codesyntax]
another example
[codesyntax lang="as3"]
if (this.getChildByName(targetChild) != null) {
this.removeChild (this.getChildByName(targetChild));
}[/codesyntax]
