clean please help

chrisalmond · June 10, 2011, 8:33am

Hi,

hope someone could help???

I can not get clean to work, I have included my clean function.

All the images are removed but the sounds still play when the scene has been changed. And the app will not change scene again.

function clean(event)  
 Runtime:removeEventListener( "touch", move )  
 Runtime:removeEventListener( "enterFrame", stop )  
 backButton:removeEventListener("touch",back)  
 bananaPosition:removeEventListener( "collision", bananaPosition )  
 pineapplePosition:removeEventListener( "collision", pineapplePosition )  
 grapePosition:removeEventListener( "collision", grapePosition )  
 orangePosition:removeEventListener( "collision", orangePosition )  
 pairPosition:removeEventListener( "collision", pairPosition )  
 kiwiPosition:removeEventListener( "collision", kiwiPosition )  
 applePosition:removeEventListener( "collision", applePosition )  
 strawberryPosition:removeEventListener( "collision", strawberryPosition )  
 arrowLeft:removeEventListener("touch", arrowLeft)  
 arrowRight:removeEventListener("touch", arrowRight)  
 timer.cancel(theTimer)   
 collectgarbage("collect")  
 end

Please help
Cheers

where do you call it?

@chris,
for the sound, why do you not just stop the sound from playing using the audio.stopSound() in the clean() function

as for the removing events, as Carlos said, where are you calling it from, it could be that one of the removeEventListener fails and the whole thing stops and therefore it does not do what it is supposed to.

Hi

I have tried to move the clean function but to no avail. It still does not unload correctly and it also does not change scene after 35 seconds. i am unloading my timers but it still runs in the background of my menu scene.

Any thoughts please
Thanks

thanks for all the help.

I have fixed it, after 2 months of searching i have found the problem, it was one little word that caused all the fuss

Hey Chris,

Care to share what you discovered? [import]uid: 5317 topic_id: 11084 reply_id: 40765[/import]

chrisalmond · June 15, 2011, 1:51am

Hi Mike,

At the risk (no certainty) of making myself sound dumb, i shall explain.

For 2 months on and off I have been trying to solve this problem, during this time i have dleted almost all the code and started agian several times. yesterday I realised that the I was not removing my runtime events corectly, I had them visa versa, I changed those and it worked.

i apologise and thank all those that posted to this thread, for my stupdity.

Cheers
