erase created members

[davis]

ok let me try this one more time.

the projector i am using is simply creating text fields named newPage1,
newPage2,
etc... i need the projector to check at the on prepareMovie handler if these
fields have been created and if so erase them. thanks.

Not sure why you're starting so many new threads in here for apparently
identical questions. Have you noticed the "Reply Group" button at the top
of Outlook Express?

I still think you should do your clean up before quitting Director and
creating a projector, but here ya go:

on prepareMovie
libs = the number of castLibs
repeat with lib = 1 to libs
mems = the number of members of castLib lib
repeat with mem = 1 to mems
if member(mem,lib).name starts "newPage" then
erase member(mem,lib)
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end

Note that this will also erase a member named "newPageWithOutANumber" or
whatever. If you're creating those new members in a castLib that is used
exclusively for those members, you can limit the above script to checking
just that castLib.
