actionscript 3 - remove this child and add new child AS3 -

i've been stuck on quite while, i'm working main.as , livrmscreen.as , livrmscreen.as game screen other movieclip actions going on... have button on livrmscreen wish remove livrmscreen , show homescreen (all homescreen functions in main.as)

var homescreen: homescreen; public function livrmscreen() {          backhomebtn.addeventlistener(mouseevent.click, onbackhomebtnclicked);      } function onbackhomebtnclicked(evt:mouseevent) {          homescreen = new homescreen();           stage.addchild(homescreen);         parent.removechild(this);      } 

this have right now, added parent.removechild because won't remove when removechild ... , because of added stage.addchild home screen show properly.

but when homescreen shows button's don't work ... showing dead movieclip. why that???

i tried put onbackhomebtnclicked function in main.as thinking homescreen functions there , maybe buttons work... in case cant screens remove , add properly

there's flaw in code logics. don't want go deep oop principles or tell use frameworks takes care of these kind of things.

here's cheap , fast way out:

in main.as

private function gotolivrscreen(e:event = null):void {     var livrscreen:livrscreen = new livrscreen();     livrscreen.addeventlistener("onclose", onlivrscreenclose);     addchild(livrscreen); } private function onlivrscreenclose(e:event = null):void {     removechild(e.currenttarget displayobject);     // add code show main menu or whatever wanted } 

in livrscreen.as

backhomebtn.addeventlistener(mouseevent.click, onbackhomebtnclicked); 

and handler

private function onbackhomebtnclicked(evt:mouseevent):void {     // remove listeners object have livrscreen garbage collected     // when done dispatch event main.as waiting     dispatchevent(new event("onclose")); } 

this pretty crude way , there can many improvements, make code little cleaner , hopefully, more scalable in case want add new screen or change implementation.
