AS3 - Removing the object after being hit by another object

Question

I am creating a simple game that when the object hit the coin, then the score will increment and the coin will be gone.....

I have this code, the food1 is the one that will be gone after being hit, and the scoreOutput is the instance name of the dynamic text.

if(player.hitTestObject(food1)){
    removeChild(food1);
    score += 10;
    scoreOutput.text = String(score);
}

I got this error

ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at game_fla::MainTimeline/moveObject()

maybe because i used the remove child, but i really dont have an idea on how to remove that object from the stage since im not familiar with actionscripting...

Any suggestion on how could I do that? thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I guess, you're if block multiple call. any reason.

so, change a this code.

if(player.hitTestObject(food1))
{
    if(stage.contains(food1))
        removeChild(food1);

    score += 10;
    scoreOutput.text = String(score);
}

and check a look at the full code.
